  • reference sequence coverage please

    Hi all,

    How to calculate how much percentage of reference sequence is covered/not covered (because of gaps) after alignment?

    Thanks,

    1) figure out size of reference (should be about 3.1 GB for h. sapiens).

    2) Figure out what's covered. Look at samtools depth command. Examine the output. Example is this :
    chr2 89197150 13
    chr2 89197151 13
    chr2 89197152 13
    chr2 89197153 13
    chr2 89197154 7

    note that there's coverage for many locations but sometimes it's zero so we can't just count the number of lines outputted so we have to do something like this ...

    samtools depth yourfile.bam | awk '{if ($3>0) print $0}' | wc

    3) Do a little algebra using answers from #1 and #2.

      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...
