Covcalc: Shiny App for Calculating Coverage Depth or Read Counts for Sequencing Experiments
Year: 2016
Type: other
Abstract: How many reads do I need? What's my sequencing depth? These are common questions I get all the time. Calculating how much sequence data you need to hit a target depth of coverage, or the inverse, what's the coverage depth given a set amount of sequencing, are both easy to answer with some basic algebra. Given one or the other, plus the genome size and read length/configuration, you can calculate either.
