  • coverage per position - less positions than in reference

    Hi all,

    i have a question concerning the coverage per position. I have a sorted .bam file which i use to determine the coverage per position. I use the code;

    Code:
    samtools pileup -f reference.fa bamfile.bam > coverageperposition.txt
    when i check the number of lines, I get 4.543.383 positions. My reference is 4.639.675 bp long. So i'm missing around 100.000 positions!

    Another method I used is with BEDTools;

    Code:
    genomeCoverageBed -ibam bamfile.bam -g genome.txt -bga > coverageperpositionBEDTOOLS.txt
    if i check here the number of lines, I get only 3.429.006 positions!

    Am i doing something wrong here? How can i get for every position in the genome the coverage? I need this, because I want to plot the coverage in a graph, along with the genome. So the number of positions should match the size of the genome.

    Kind regards,
    Boetsie

    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...
