HI,


The option you need in IGV tools is "count". You set a window size and this 
gives you a tdf file from your sorted bam (or sam) file which is nice and quick 
to view on IGV.







Best Wishes,
David.

Dear David:

thank you very much for helping me!

I have download the IGV and I do find the IGVtools, however, I am not sure which
tool I should use for generate a tdf file, the tile function will generate a tdf
file, but the input file format does not include bam or sam file, instead it
need wig file. But I have no wig file to put in. So I am wondering whether you
need to use other tool first. I really appreciate your help! Thank you very
much!

Best

Ying

Hi,



You can get an equivalent visualisation from the IGV viewer by the Broad 
Institute - its under IGV tools and generates a tdf file from bam or sam files. 
This also gives a quick and easy way of looking at depth at any particular site 
and is very accessible.



Cheers

David

Hi all,





Ann is correct - Tophat does not produce .wig files when run anymore. However, 
it's fairly easy to use Galaxy to make a wiggle-like coverage file from a BAM 
file:





(a) run the pileup tool on your BAM to create a pileup file;


(b) cut columns 1 and 4 to get your coverage file.





A final note: it's often difficult to visualize coverage files because they're 
so large. You might be better off visualizing the BAM file and using the 
coverage file for statistics.





Best,


J.






Hello,







I think I know the answer (sort of) to this question.







This may be because newer versions of tophat stopped running the "wiggles"



program, which is still part of the tophat distribution and is the program



that makes the "coverage.wig" file.







A later version of tophat might bring this back, however - there's a note to



this effect in the tophat python code.







So if you can run wiggles, you can make the "coverage.wig" file on your own.







A student here at UNC Charlotte (Adam Baxter) made a few changes to the



"wiggles" source code that would allow you to use it with samtools to make a



"coverage.wig" file from the "accepted_hits.bam" file that TopHat creates.







If you (or anyone else) would like a copy, please email Adam, who is cc'ed



on this email.







We would be happy to help add it to Galaxy if this would be of interest to



you or other Galaxy users.







If there is any way we can be of assistance, please let us know!







Very best wishes,







Ann Loraine

Hi:









I am using tophat in galaxy to analyze my paired-end RNA-seq data and find out




that after the tophat analysis, we can not get the wig file from it anymore




which is used to be able to. Do you have any idea of how to still be able to




get the wig file after tophat analysis? Thanks a lot!
