  • .wig files for strand-specific paired-end RNA-Seq

    Hi,

    Is there a simple way to make strand-specific .wig file (i.e., a separate track for + and - strand) from paired-end data (where the second read maps to the other strand)? genomeCoverageBed doesn't seem to handle this well. Any alternatives?

    Igor.

    It's quick using R with the packages Rsamtools, GenomicRanges, and rtracklayer.

    Code:
    library(Rsamtools)
    library(rtracklayer)
    myReads <- readGappedAlignments("RNAseqMapping.bam")
    coveragePlus <- coverage(myReads[strand(myReads) ==  '+'])
    export(coveragePlus, "RNAplus.wig")
    coverageMinus <- coverage(myReads[strand(myReads) ==  '-'])
    export(coverageMinus, "RNAminus.wig")

      Thanks! But this appears to suffer from the same problem as genomeCoverageBed - I get similar coverage on both strands, because if the transcript is on the + strand, read #2 maps to the - strand, and contributes to the coverage on the - strand... Is there any way around this?

        Good point. You should ask about it on the Bioconductor mailing list. They implement feature requests quickly.

          Just flip the strand of the #2 reads

            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...
