Hi, I would like to ask if any of you have experience with generating *WIG coverage files from PE ssRNA-Seq* data. I got some discussion around this ( http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20545) but it seems not to be solved yet. Also, does *countOverlaps* function work with GappedAlignmentPairs object? In that case, will the first or last alignment of each pair be used for calculating the overlap? Thanks much in advance. Best, [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

If that is true, please confirm as it would inform our design. As suggested in the thread, just flip the strand of the second ends and use the code earlier in that thread. GAlignmentPairs makes this easy, the accessors first() and last() get you the #1 and #2 reads, respectively, as GAlignments. > Also, does *countOverlaps* function work with GappedAlignmentPairs object? > In that case, will the first or last alignment of each pair be used for > calculating the overlap? > GappedAlignmentPairs is now called GAlignmentPairs. Whenever you want to know whether there is a method for a certain signature, use showMethods() to see the list or selectMethod() to retrieve the method object for the signature. In this case: > showMethods(countOverlaps) [snip] query="GAlignmentPairs", subject="GAlignmentPairs" query="GAlignmentPairs", subject="Vector" [snip] This means we can call countOverlaps with a GAlignmentPairs and any Vector (of ranges), including a GRangesList of transcripts. The method works by first converting GAlignmentPairs into a GRangesList, where each element corresponds to a pair and contains the exonic ranges from both ends. The problem for you is that the strand will not be correct for the second end. Thus, you will need to call grglist() to get the GRangesList manually and modify the strand before passing it to countOverlaps. The strand modification would look like: strand(grl) <- relist(rep(strand(first(reads)), elementLengths(grl)), grl) There is some experimental functionality in GenomicRanges for computing isoform-specific overlaps: findSpliceOverlaps. These functions look for the BAM XS tag and if found use it to determine the strand in a way similar to above. If you were to set the XS mcol on your GAlignmentPairs to strand(first(reads)), then these functions should work the way you want.

Hi Michael, Thank you very much for prompt reply. With our ssRNA-Seq protocol, strand info of the second read represents the whole fragment. Also, even the code can be applied for calculating coverage, it may not work effectively with large BAM file because of requiring to load the whole file at once. Is there any trick to avoid this? Regarding countOverlaps function, as you suggested to convert GappedAlignmentPairs into a GRangeList corresponding to two reads, it happens that one fragment may be counted twice. Does it cause any bias on the output, assuming that the read counts are used for DEG analysis? Looking forward to your reply.
