    coveragebed output result problem

    Hi,

    I'm running coveragebed to calculate the number of read count in each transcript of tophat alignment result by using the following command:
    Code:
    /bedtool/arq5x-bedtools-26a87ab/bin/coverageBed -abam accepted_hits.bam -b transcripts.bed > transcripts.cov.txt 
    cat transcripts.cov.txt
    gi|224589800|ref|NC_000001.10|  8378168 8404227 "ENSG00000162426"       [B]70      1059    26059   0.0406386[/B]
    Does anybody knows what is the 70, 1059, 26059, 0.0406386 represent?
    I know that 0.0406386 is obtained from 1059/26059.
    Is it 1059 refer to total number of read aligned to the transcript and 26059 represent the transcript length? How about 70?
    Kindly correct me if I'm wrong.
    Thanks for any advice.

    If you type "coverageBed -h", the last few lines describe the output format.

    Code:
    Default Output:  
    	 After each entry in B, reports: 
    	   1) The number of features in A that overlapped the B interval.
    	   2) The number of bases in B that had non-zero coverage.
    	   3) The length of the entry in B.
    	   4) The fraction of bases in B that had non-zero coverage.

        Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

        Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

        I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

        Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
