Hello,
How can I calculated my coverage for amplicons?
Thank you very much in advance

Do you have a bam and bed? Coverage per amplicon or average coverage in bam?Last edited by cmccabe; 10-29-2015, 03:01 PM. -
Thank you very much for your response. Yes, I have bam and bed file. I would like calculate the coverage per amplicon. What it is the average coverage in bam? Is it important?
Thank you in advanceComment

The average coverage of a bam file is all captured bases outputed as one #, such as 40x. It can be useful to give you a quick snapshot of your sequencing run. I personally do not put much stock in it as have found it to be misleading. What platform are you using and do you have linux, windows, or mac? I am not in the office now but would use bedtools to give the per base coverage, and awk to further process (combine and average all bases per amplicon, identify bases under desired reads, etc).Comment

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
