  • coverage depth, bedtools and RNA-Seq experiment

    I want to estimate the % of a transcriptome covered by an RNA-Seq experiment.

    I tried to use BEDTools: one file consisted of exons only coordinates (from UCSC), the other file consisted of TopHat alignments.

    The results show that 70% of the transcriptome has coverage depth 0.

    I was expecting a much smaller percentage, given that I started with 100,000,000 reads x 2 (PE) and the total length of the transcriptome is 17,470,227.

    Am I making a big mistake here?

    ps. when I say "transcriptome", I mean the collection of all exons.

    Can you show us the command you used to generate that value?

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
