  • 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).

        Quality Control Essentials for Next-Generation Sequencing Workflows
        by seqadmin




        Like all molecular biology applications, next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflows require diligent quality control (QC) measures to ensure accurate and reproducible results. Proper QC begins at nucleic acid extraction and continues all the way through to data analysis. This article outlines the key QC steps in an NGS workflow, along with the commonly used tools and techniques.
