coveragegff

coveragegff calculates read coverage from sequencing data and exports coverage annotations in GFF3 format for genomic feature analysis.

Key Features:

• Read Coverage Calculation: Calculates read coverage using the "nbElements" tag to quantify how many times each genomic element (e.g., gene or exon) has been sequenced.
• Output in GFF3 Format: Writes calculated coverage data into GFF3 files to represent coverage as genomic feature annotations.

Scientific Applications:

• Variant calling and expression quantification: Provides coverage metrics that support downstream variant calling and expression quantification analyses.
• Analysis of genetic variation and expression patterns: Supplies per-element coverage information for interpretation of sequencing results in biomedical research and hypothesis validation.

Methodology:

Processes large next-generation sequencing datasets by calculating read coverage based on the "nbElements" tag and writing the results to GFF3 output.
