136 Given a BAM file, this tool generates a bigWig or bedGraph file of fragment or read coverages. 136 Given a BAM file, this tool generates a bigWig or bedGraph file with genome-wide coverage of fragment or read coverages.
137 The way the method works is by first calculating all the number of reads (either extended to match the fragment length or not) 137 The way the method works is by first calculating all the number of reads (either extended to match the fragment length or not)
138 that overlap each bin in the genome. Bins with zero counts are skipped, i.e. not added to the output file. 138 that overlap each bin (a region of fixed length, i.e. 25 bp) in the genome. Bins with zero counts are skipped, i.e. not added to the output file.
139 The resulting read counts can be normalized using either a given scaling factor, the RPKM formula or to get a 1x depth of coverage (RPGC). 139 The resulting read counts can be normalized using either a given scaling factor, the RPKM formula or to get a 1x depth of coverage (RPGC).
