  • Genome coverage

    I used bowtie to create sam files that are loaded in a tablet program for chloroplast assembly by tags. I guess there is an overall coverage of about 80%. But is there a way to let the program calculate the precise coverage by the tags in comparison to the chloroplast sequence?

    Thx

    You may check BEDTools. There's a coverageBed utility. Of course, you must convert sam to bed first!

        how to use coverageBed

        How to use coverageBed to caculate the coverage of reads to reference?
        I have changed sam to bam and then to bed.
        I've got only one sam files after aln reads to reference.
        Why does the coveragebed programme need to bed files a and b like this:
        coverageBed [OPTIONS] -a <bed/gff/vcf> -b <bed/gff/vcf>
        If this method does not work.
        Is there any other software or script to caculate assembled contigs' coverage to reference?

        ps.
        the assemble programme is not the popular ones

            But I want this kind of results:

            I want to caculate the rate, for example:
            the length of reference is 10000bp
            the length of reads mapped reagion is 2000bp in all
            and the coverage rate is 20%

              Read the documentation for BEDtools, it gives an example of how to do this exactly. Very nice PDF on their website!

              It doesn't require the first input to be a bed file, either. It can be a BAM file. See the -abam option.

                Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
                by seqadmin


                Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
