Is there a tool that can tell me coverage per some uniform interval along a set of reference contigs? I know I could use bedtools coverage and build a bed file defining the intervals, but I was asked if there wasn't already a tool that could just do uniform intervals on its own without having to setup a bedfile to define the intervals.

Does the --by option sum up the coverage for an interval (10000), or does it provide the depth at each interval?Comment

Thanks for the suggestion, mosdepth is just what I need!
@Mizzou55 it looks like its reporting the average depth across the requested intervals. If you want depths at specific positions in your reference I guess you'd have to setup a bed file with the positions you want reportedComment

Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.
There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...07-08-2026, 05:17 AM
