Hi,
I wanted to see what is the depth of the nanopore reads in IGV.
I used bwa (Burrow-Wheeler Aligner) to map the raw nanopore reads to the reference genome and saved it as ban file. Then, I used samtools to convert the bam file into sam so that I can view it using IGV.
I have the IGV documentation, but failed to understand how do I know what is the depth of the nanopore reads. Is there a way that I can know the depth using the IGV settings in the menu panel?
Thank you..
Kiran
You don't have to convert bam to sam to use IGV. IGV is a visualization tool, not optimal to calculate things like coverage. For that I would use mosdepth.
@WouterDeCoster Thank you so much for your reply.
