Hello,
How can I calculated my coverage for amplicons?
Thank you very much in advance

Do you have a bam and bed? Coverage per amplicon or average coverage in bam?Last edited by cmccabe; 10-29-2015, 03:01 PM. -
Thank you very much for your response. Yes, I have bam and bed file. I would like calculate the coverage per amplicon. What it is the average coverage in bam? Is it important?
Thank you in advanceComment

The average coverage of a bam file is all captured bases outputed as one #, such as 40x. It can be useful to give you a quick snapshot of your sequencing run. I personally do not put much stock in it as have found it to be misleading. What platform are you using and do you have linux, windows, or mac? I am not in the office now but would use bedtools to give the per base coverage, and awk to further process (combine and average all bases per amplicon, identify bases under desired reads, etc).Comment

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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
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...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
