  • very basic questions about bedtools multicov

    Hi,

    I am trying to count reads from BAM files in specific BED features using bedtools multicov.

    If I use the standard parameters (i.e. just -bams x.bam y.bam -bed x.bed), it works as expected.

    However, I have problems with the parameters for overlap, -f and for strandedness, -s/-S.

    With the settings to -s (enforcing same strand), I get 0 counts. With the inverted -S, I get counts. Since I am using datasets that have been generated with dUTP first strand method, is this expected? Cufflinks assembles the correct orientations of my transcripts with --fr-firststrand.

    For the overlap, since my bed files contain exons, I want to exclude reads from pre-mRNA that span intron-exon, therefore I set the overlap to 100% with -f 1. However, this will result in 0 counted reads. Do I misunderstand the -f setting? I only want to count reads that are 100% within the BED features of interest. I have paired-end data, so I use the -split option.

    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...
