    bedtools intersect -f -F -r behavior

    Hello, I am using bedtools intersect and I'm failing to reproduce one of the examples in the documentation, bedtools intersect

    I am using bedtools v2.25.0

    In section "-r, and -f Requiring reciprocal minimal overlap fraction", the very simple example provided there is:
    $ cat A.bed
    chr1 100 200

    $ cat B.bed
    chr1 130 201
    chr1 130 200000

    $ bedtools intersect -a A.bed -b B.bed -f 0.50 -r -wa -wb
    chr1 100 200 chr1 130 201


    Well, in my case, when I try to force reciprocal overlap, the behavior is not what I expected. My output is:

    $ cat A.bed
    chr1 100 200

    $ cat B.bed
    chr1 130 201
    chr1 130 200000

    $ bedtools intersect -a A.bed -b B.bed -f 0.50 -wa -wb
    chr1 100 200 chr1 130 201
    chr1 100 200 chr1 130 200000

    $ bedtools intersect -a A.bed -b B.bed -f 0.50 -r -wa -wb
    chr1 100 200 chr1 130 201
    chr1 100 200 chr1 130 200000

    Last output is different from the example. -r seems to be ignored, I only get the expected reciprocal result manually using -F:

    $ bedtools intersect -a A.bed -b B.bed -f 0.50 -F 0.50 -wa -wb
    chr1 100 200 chr1 130 201

    Using -f and -r should be the same than using -f and -F, right?
    Does anyone have any idea of what I'm missing?

    Thank you so much for your feedback!

    The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2





    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,...
