Coverage

The number of sequencing reads overlapping a given position. Higher coverage generally means more confident variant calls. Often reported as mean coverage across the genome or target.

Example in a sentence

Mean coverage was 50× across the exome.

Key facts

  • Reads per base; higher → more confidence.
  • Reported as mean or per-base; critical for variant QC.
