  • BEDTools..coverageBed query

    Hi
    I have a question regarding the way BEDtools' coverageBed handles a short read that matches both gene A and Gene B. In such an instance could you let me know which of the following is true?

    1. The read is counted for both Gene A and Gene B.

    2. The read is counted for the gene which shows lower number of mismatches.

    3. The read is thrown out.

    thanks
    Siva

    The read is counted for both gene A and gene B. You could enforce behavior #3 if you first intersected the reads against your gene file and threw away all reads having a count (-c option) > 1.

    For more complicated rules, I suggest the HTSeq package.

      You could also enforce behavior #2 by first collapsing your read alignments to the set with the lowest edit distance (NM tag if you use BAM).

        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...
