    Identify reads overlapping a junction in gff file

    Dear all,

    I have a gff annotation file with coordinates for an overlapping genomic feature, e.g.
    chr1 1-100
    chr1 100-250
    chr1 250-300
    chr1 300-500

    and an alignment file (bam/bed) with reads mapping to that chromosome. I need to extract reads that are specifically overlapping the junctions of that genomic feature. So, in a bed file like this,

    chr1 50-70
    chr1 90-110
    chr1 150-170
    chr1 245-255

    Only extract,
    chr1 90-110
    chr1 245-255

    Any existing tools that can help me do that. I am not well versed in bioinformatics so I can't write my own scripts but am able to run existing tools.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    BEdtools intersect will do this, you need tab-separated input so:

    Code:
    sed 's/\-/\t/g' <gff_or_bed> | sed 's/\s */\t/g' > <new-gff_or_bed>
    should work for that

      Thanks for the prompt reply bruce01, but I thought that bedtools will report all the common overlap features between my gff and bam/bed. I only need to extract the reads which are overlapping the junctions of my genomic feature. So, discard any reads which are completely within the coordinates of a single feature.
      Am I missing something here?

        Oh, you want reads to sit in two concurrent features, I misread and thought you just wanted to be within one feature. No tools I know to do that, but thats because I never wanted to do that.

        What are you trying to find, fusion genes?

          Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
          by SEQadmin2



          Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

          Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

          New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
          by SEQadmin2


          Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

          We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
