  • Bedtools -s (strandedness) not working

    The -s option isn't working for me with bedtools (v2.17.0). As a test I made two files each with only one line:

    file1.bed
    Code:
    chr1	100	200	name1	0	+
    file2.bed
    Code:
    chr1	100	200	name2	0	+
    Then used this command:
    Code:
    bedtools intersect -a ./file1.bed -b ./file2.bed -s
    And it reports no overlap. If I run the same command without the "-s" at the end it reports the overlap. Am I missing something obvious?

    $ bedtools intersect -s -a ./file1.bed -b ./file2.bed
    That seems to work. Guess options need to go before the the first file entry.

      Tried that already, it also doesn't work.

        It works for me. What OS are you using?
        Code:
        $ bedtools intersect -s -a ./file1.bed -b ./file2.bed
        chr1	100	200	name1	0	+
        Code:
        $ more p1.bed
        chr1	100	200	name1	0	-
        chr1	100	200	name1	0	+
        $ more p2.bed
        chr1	100	200	name2	0	+
        $ bedtools intersect -s -a ./p1.bed -b ./p2.bed
        chr1	100	200	name1	0	+
        $ bedtools intersect -s -v -a ./p1.bed -b ./p2.bed
        chr1	100	200	name1	0	-

          I think I figured it out. I'm using bedtools in an Ubuntu virtual machine but saved the files in Notepad++ in Windows. I think it's a newline character problem so the "+" at the end of the line isn't being read correctly. When I made new files in gedit they worked.

            Easy to overlook that possibility. Good to hear it is working.

              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...
