  • 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?

        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...

        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...
