  • 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!

    Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
    by seqadmin


    The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
