In Cufflinks analyses of RNA-Seq data, what exactly does the "cov" (coverage) attribute measure?
In the CuffLinks manual, it states that cov "Estimate[s]... the absolute depth of read coverage across the whole transcript". Does this refer to the average coverage per nucleotide for the transcript in question?
