  • featureCounts : limits on multioverlap (option -O)

    Hello everybody,

    I'm running featureCounts (version 1.6.0) with an annotation in SAF format, this way :


    /home/marc/Downloads/subread-1.6.0-Linux-x86_64/bin/featureCounts -F SAF -L -T 3 -O -a saf.test -o /home/marc/Desktop/test_result exon.bam promoter.bam intron.bam five_prime_utr.bam three_prime_utr.bam intergenic.bam
    saf.test contains for the 1st run, 50 features, all intentionally on the same region, with the same start & end (overlapping features). The reads were assigned as expected (all the 50 features have the same number of reads).

    I have done this test in increasing the number of features, and I saw that for a number of 5000 overlapping features for example, no reads were assigned at all, even though on the screen, I can see it is said that the reads were assigned.

    I'm doing these tests, because I want to replace an other tool by featureCounts because of its high speed, and I want to be sure it is free of unexpected results.

    So, my question is the following : is there a limit in the number of handled overlapping features by the program ?

    Thanks in advance !

    Best,

    Marc

    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...
