When I zoom in and click on a peak in a track I get something like this: *Position: *chr1:137,313,656-137,313,838 *Total Bases in view: *183 *Statistics on:* 183 *items covering* 183 bases (100.00% coverage) *Average item spans* 1.00 *bases.* *Average value* 169631 *min* 4280 *max* 404000 *standard deviation *141420
if I zoom out a bit I might see something like this: *Position: *chr1:137,304,597-137,322,896 *Total Bases in view: *18,300 *Statistics on:* 284 *items covering* 284 bases (1.55% coverage) *Average item spans* 1.00 *bases.* *Average value* 109629 *min* 10.1 *max* 404000 *standard deviation *139315 How can I interpret this? This is a wig track. I'd like to know how to describe the Y-axis to someone. This is ChIP-seq data, so, can I deduce/approximate how many reads mapped to this region with this info (if I know the read length)? I know Illumina's peak-caller/browser allows me to toggle the Y-axis scale between total reads, total bases, and average base coverage.
