    featureCounts vs bedtools multicov

    --hello,

    i try to compare the programs featureCounts and bedtools multicov to count reads into a little bam file.
    So i use those commands:

    featureCounts -F SAF -p -Q 27 -a myannot.txt -o results.txt 17PT1.bam

    with myannot.txt with one single line and formated as:

    47 TR34|c0_g1_i1 0 387 -

    For bedtools i use:

    bedtools multicov -D -q 27 -p -bams 17PT1.bam -bed myannot.bed

    with myannot.bed with one single line and formated as:

    TR34|c0_g1_i1 0 387

    you can download the bam file from this link:
    Unfortunately, the requested page could not be found.Take me home Banner image credit: The New York Public Library on Unsplash


    with featureCounts i obtain 32 results
    and with bedtools i obtain 54 results.

    I don't understand why this difference in counting ?

    thank you --

    Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
    by SEQadmin2



    Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

    Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
    by SEQadmin2



    Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

    There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

    Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by GATTACAT
    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
