Dear all,

I am a Phd student working on chicken genomics, with limited experience in the 
bio-informatics field. I performed an RNA-Seq experiment with single end 50 bp 
reads to find differential gene expressions between different groups. I have 
mapped this data with Tophat and used flagstat and Picard to check the number 
of mapped reads.

To check the coverage of my genome, I could use the number of mapped reads and 
multiply this by the read length and divide by the genome size, but of course 
since I used mRNA as input material, average coverage will be low (only exons 
presents). I would like to use the Samtools Depth (as I read on SeqAnswers) to 
get the average coverage for a coveraged base AND the total base coverage, but 
this does not seem to be included in Galaxy. Does anyone know a way around 
this? Other useful tips and tricks are also welcomed. Thank you very much.

Have a nice day.

Yours Sincerely, Els
