Maybe this is getting confusing, because we haven't invoked the idea of coverage in a proper way..
If your original question was pertaining to coverage of a genome then assume random read distribution and divide sequence data size by genome size. For example if you have 30 Gbp of sequence data and a 1 Gbp genome then theoretically you have an average of 30x coverage. It makes little difference how much of that redundancy is from overlap in paired reads (which are size selected to be very little to nill anyway since the fragments are 200-500 bp and you sequence 75-100 bp of each end) vs different reads.

Heisman: As to a 300 bp insert, 200 bp from one read pair will cover it from the ends but the 100 bp gap will be covered by some other read pair from a different overlapping insert, from the library. What I don't understand is why your answer sounds like those 100 bp have just vanished..
Maybe I am just not able to get the big picture at the moment, from our rather simple discussion, but whatever..

If you have 2 100 bp reads, the total number of bases you get is 200. Period, end of story. The question is how many of those 200 base pairs gives you more information? If you are only sequencing a 100 bp insert, then each of the paired reads will sequence the same bases. So, you get 200 base pairs, but 100 base pairs are redundant (assuming there are no errors in the read). Hence, you only get as an outcome 100 base pairs that count for your coverage.
If you are sequencing a 300 base pair insert, you get 200 base pairs of information. Here, those 200 base pairs will be unique, because there will be 100 base pairs in between. So you get 200 base pairs that count for your coverage.
Is this clear? If so, what else is confusing you?

We were talking about gap/overlap between members of one pair, right? The gaps is going to be covered by some other pair of reads, won't it?
For eg. If ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ was my target region, and my sequencer sliced it up, made libraries, the libraries would be something like ABCDE, BCDEF, CDEFGHI, DEFGHI and so on, of varying size. Then it sequences the library and gave me 3 unit long paired end reads. ABCDE will give me ABC and CED (with an overlap) but CDEFGHI would give me CDE and IHG (with a gap).
Sorry I am new to NGS and want to get the bare basics correct.
Is my concept correct?

Originally posted by GenoMax View PostTechnically they are "x" fragments represented by 2x reads.
If the reads from the two ends do not overlap then there are all unique bases.

Very basic number question..
If I have two 100 base pair, paired end read files each having x reads (2x total number of reads), is the total number of bases pairs represented by these two together 2x or x?Tags: None

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...-

During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.
Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...-
