dba.count generates less ranges than input peakset

Hi,

I've been analyzing ATAC-seq data with DiffBind. I have generated a dba object with the samples' bams and the peak bed files resulting from macs. I would like to take advantage of this dba object in order to get the normalized counts of my samples for a pre-defined peakset I have builded myself (custom_peakset). I don't know why when I retrieve the peakset, after computing the count using custom_peakset, it returns 94 ranges since my peakset is a GRanges Object with 288 ranges. I was wondering if the ranges without reads in non of my samples where omitted, but looking for couple of examples I have realized that those omitted ranges have coverage in my samples. What's wrong with my approach?

 

dba object (WT_KO_data)

5 Samples, 71116 sites in matrix (96868 total):

     ID Tissue Factor Condition Treatment Replicate Caller Intervals

1 CWS37  Mouse   CD34        WT       AUL         1    bed     61132

2 CWS38  Mouse   CD34        WT       AUL         2    bed     75585

4 CSJ87  Mouse   CD34        KO       AUL         1    bed     65864

5 CSJ89  Mouse   CD34        KO       AUL         2    bed     65802

custom_peakset (GRanges_TSS_DE_genes)

GRanges object with 288 ranges and 1 metadata column:

Do any of the ranges in GRanges_TSS_DE_genes overlap? DiffBind will merge any overlapping ranges. You can check for these using eg. findOverlaps.

If you'd like, you can send me GRanges_TSS_DE_genes and I can check to see how DiffBind is handling it.
