    how to calculate percentage of read distribution of each gene

    Hi.
    I'm a new guy in bioinformatics. I would like to calculate the percentage of read distribution of each gene from RNAseq data. For example, in A gene, 2% CDS reads, 10% 3‘UTR reads, etc. I need result of every gene in genome. Do any master know if there are some tools or scripts?
    Thanks.

    Use a bed file which has this annotation information. Then you would want to use bedtools coveragebed tool to get the information you need.

      You can download BED files for different genome regions using the UCSC Table Browser (https://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables). Select your desired assembly (hg19?), group "Genes and Gene Predictions", track "RefSeq Genes", table "refGene", and output format "BED" then hit "get output". From there you can create BED files with filters for each of the regions you want, ie: exons, introns, 5'UTR, 3'UTR, coding, etc. Finally, BedTools intersect or coverageBed as @GenoMax has suggested can get you read counts in those regions that you can then group by gene.

        Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

        Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
        by SEQadmin2


        I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

        Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

        From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
        by SEQadmin2


        Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


        The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
