  • how to summarize information for a gene from bam file

    I have very basic question about bam files, it may be very obvious but kind of stacked.

    I would like to see how many LINE,SINE etc are around the genes (which of my genes are enriched with repeats of LINE/SINE etc. elements).

    For this, I have aligned data in bam format and the repeats in bed format.

    As far as i know BAM files contains aligned data for each read from fastq file. How can i summarise information for each gene from a bam file? so that i can overlap these genes with the repeats and check for an enrichment?

    You can use bedtools for this purpose. An example would be the multicov option: http://bedtools.readthedocs.org/en/l.../multicov.html

      The featureCounts program may help - http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/featureCounts/

        Thanks, i was looking at this feature. It is fast but i also want to know the repeat elements that are within certain threshold, 500bp for example in the forward strand.
        This seems to be possible with bedtools windows option (-l -r) but not sure if it works with multicov. At least there is no option in the help menu.

          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...
