  • Uniformity refers to how evenly distributed is the coverage for the gene.

  • The average number of bases that spans the coding exon is calculated for the base on the gene and the percentage of bases greater than 20% of the average is defined as the “Gene Uniformity”.

For example :

  • The beginning of the target might have high coverage with 1000x, but the end might only have 40x coverage = low uniformity

  • Uniformity of 90% means 90% of the bases (within a target) is within 20% of the average.
