Hi, I have some questions about DNA-Seq and RNA-Seq analyses. In Amplicon sequencing, is there any package/function which can extract amplicon- level read counts and GC content from an aligned file of BAM format? The same question to exon-level read counts and GC content. More generally, given a genomic interval, how could I extract the read count and GC content for that interval? Thanks for any input! Best, Yu Chuan

The Rsamtools package has scanBam for read input, also GenomicRanges::readGappedAlignments and GenomicRanges::summarizeOverlaps for higher-level read counting. The requirement is generally a 'GRanges', which can be queried from TxDb packages (e.g., TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene) or from gff (via rtracklayer) or many other sources.

Hi Martin, Thanks for your quick reply and great help! I will try what you suggested below and let you know if I still have any question. A quick question. Can RSamTools convert BAM to SAM?

No; it will go the other way around (SAM --> BAM, see ?asBam) which is generally the right thing to do (smaller files, more easily 'queried' for regions of interest, etc, especially after indexing ?indexBam).

You may use the following command to convert BAM to SAM if you got Samtools installed on a unix computer: samtools view aligned.BAM > aligned.SAM It will be nice if Rsamtools can support this conversion as Samtools supports this conversion. The reason why featureCounts in Rsubread does not support BAM files is because we run this function straight after running the align() function for the alignment. But I think we may need to add support for this ...

Dear Yu Chuan, You may consider using the featureCounts function in Rsubread package to count the number of reads for the features you are interested in. The built-in RefSeq annotation will allow you to get exon-level read counts. But to get amplicon-level read counts or read counts in a specific genomic interval, you'll have to provide an annotation file to this function to let it count reads for you. This function accepts SAM files as input, but I guess you can convert your BAM files to SAM files. For you information about this function, see ?featureCounts. Hope this helps.

The built-in RefSeq annotation will allow you to get exon-level read counts. But to get amplicon-level read counts or read counts in a specific genomic interval, you'll have to provide an annotation file to this function to let it count reads for you. > > This function accepts SAM files as input, but I guess you can convert your BAM files to SAM files.

In Amplicon sequencing, is there any package/function which can extract amplicon-level read counts and GC content from an aligned file of BAM format? The same question to exon-level read counts and GC content. More generally, given a genomic interval, how could I extract the read count and GC content for that interval? >> >> Thanks for any input! >> >> Best, >> Yu Chuan >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Bioconductor mailing list >> Bioconductor at r-project.org >> https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioconductor >> Search the archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.science.biology.informatics.conductor > > > ______________________________________________________________________ > The information in this email is confidential and inte...{{dropped:5}}
