Download an amplicon coverage report

You can download an amplicon coverage report in Ion Reporter Software. Amplicon coverage reports contain details such as amplicon coverage, chromosome location, and start and end positions.

  1. In the Analysis tab, click Overview.
  2. Select the row of the analysis that you want to report on.
  3. Click (Actions)View Coverage Report.
  4. Click Export to generate a tab-separated CSV file that contains details such as chromosome location, and start and end positions on forward and reverse strands.

    The downloaded file is named ampliconmetrics.csv.

Amplicon coverage report metrics

The amplicon coverage report includes the following metrics:

Metric

Description

Region

The amplicon name as defined in the BED file for the amplicon region.

Chr

Chromosome

Start

The start coordinate of the amplicon.

End

the end coordinate of the amplicon.

Attributes

The attribute in the BED file for the amplicon.

TotalE2E

The number of assigned reads from end to end for the amplicon region.

FwdE2E

The number of assigned forward strand reads from end to end for the amplicon region.

RevE2E

The number of assigned reverse strand reads from end to end for the amplicon region.

Total

The total number of reads assigned to this amplicon. This value is equal to Fwd + Rev.

Fwd

The number of forward strand reads assigned to this amplicon. This value may differ from the reads for end to end.

Rev

The number of reverse strand reads assigned to this amplicon. This value may differ from the reads for end to end.
