Hi,

I am using bamCoverage to generate signal file for viewing on UCSC. So I choose to output as bedGraph format because I need to edit the chrom prefix before I convert it to bigwig. I set the scaleFactor as follow

bamCoverage --numberOfProcessors 10 --scaleFactor 0.9022 --binSize 1 --outFileFormat bedgraph --filterRNAstrand forward --bam file.bam -o forward.bedGraph

But when I view the output file, it seems the values are not scaled. Why is it so?
