  • wig file generated by MACS doesn`t fit input sam

    HI:
    I use MACS to do my peak calling and visualize my results by uploading wig file to UCSC. when I check reads distributution I find a bizarre thing:

    below is part of wig generated by MACS:
    track type=wiggle_0 name="treated_cells_treat_chr7" description="Shifted Merged MACS tag counts for every 10 bp"
    variableStep chrom=chr7 span=10
    34041 1
    34051 1
    34061 1
    34071 1
    34081 1
    34091 1
    34101 1
    .......

    and below is part of sam from bowtie and set to MACS to generate wig above:

    you can see in sam file there is only one read mapping to position 340XX (I sort my sam file), and on wig file there are too many reads mapping to 340XX which can`t explain by reads shift.

    can you help me? thanks

    The wig will show the overlap of the shifted extended read for every 10th base, so there is nothing wrong with your file.

      Thank you for your replying Chipper
      but I don`t understand you very well.
      in the wig file there is one read located on the each bin of 34041, 34051, 34061.....
      and there is only one read in sam which can be mapped to this region even after shifting that is 34040. My question is how do the other reads come from on wig file.
      and what do you mean by overlap?

        Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
        by seqadmin




        The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

        Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
        by seqadmin


        Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
