Hi,
I wanted to calculate how many RefSeq genes were covered after QC in a particular Exome Seq project. First, all the bases above a certain coverage cutoff were extracted. Then I map those bases to transcripts of each gene. Now I have the number of bases covered for each gene. For one gene to be said "captured" in exome seq, how many bases should be covered, i.e. f one base of a gene is covered, should we say that gene was captured in exome seq? Overall, is it the right way to count covered genes?
Thanks in advance!

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...09-23-2024, 06:35 AM -
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.
