Counting reads per codon
Hello. So I have some ribosome profiling sequencing data which I've clipped, trimmed, mapped with Bowtie, and converted to BAM files for viewing in IGV. The data looks good in IGV but now I want to know the number of reads per codon. Does a tool exist for doing that?
Thanks!

none that I'm aware of, but codon information can be considered as any other annotation, so if you have all the codons you're interested in described in a bed file you can obtain such information using bedtools intersect for instance:
bedtools intersect -c -a codons.bed -b reads.bam
