Pi biased by read coverage? #9

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Hello,

Is it possible to remove genomic regions from analysis when using 
Variance-sliding.pl based upon read coverage within the window? I am worried 
that Variance-sliding.pl calculations show low values of Pi, Theta, or D, when 
in fact there is just low read coverage in the specified region. Is there a way 
to correct these statistics with percentage of the window that is covered by 
reads, or remove these regions from the analysis altogether?

Any discussion of how read coverage within a window will effect these 
statistics, or can inform window length, would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,
you can subsample to an uniform coverage, there is the script subsample 
coverage. This also removes regions with a coverage lower than the targeted 
coverage
