... If you want for all Cytosines, not context specific (CpG / CHG / CHH as printed in the report) just add the numbers:
* Total C's analysed `1218062196`
* Methylated C's in CpG context `31593318`
* Methylated C's in CHG context `1525159`
* Methylated C's in CHH context `3319601`
```

... Tools such as [Bismark](https://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/bismark/) and [bwa-meth](https://github.com/brentp/bwa-meth) align WGBS reads and then extract the methylation status of every cytosine within each aligned read. They also produce summary statistics, including the genome-wide ...

... RNA-seq data has reads that span exon-exon boundaries. BowTie will not align these reads, so you'll only get back alignments that lie entirely within an exon. Tophat / STAR etc are "splice aware" aligners, so work with RNA-seq data. ...

... Ah yes, absolutely. I guess it depends on how extreme the base composition wobbling is.. I was imagining 100% for each base but on re-reading the OP it could well be hexamer priming as you say. ...

... One possible explanation for this is a poor efficiency of the poly-A enrichment, possibly combined with DNA contamination. No enrichment is ever 100% efficient, so other material can always get into the library. If you have antisense reads in exons, this can sometimes be due to DNA contamination. Th ...

... I would be very surprised if this has much effect on your alignments. These extra scaffolds are recommended to "soak up" reads which would otherwise misalign, but they shouldn't account for more than a few of % of your library. That can be a problem for downstream analysis, but won't result in a glo ...
