Depth (DoC) and breadth of coverage (>1x) were calculated using BEDTools. Deamination rates at the 5’ ends of DNA fragments were calculated for the first 10 bases using mapDamage. −Δ % refers to the negative difference proportion introduced by Hübler et al.⁵³. C-T (%) and −Δ % are computed on PMDS>1 reads.
