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

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
