Coverage Uniformity

The coverage uniformity plot corresponds more or less to the cumulative line in the coverage histogram. However, 'coverage.uniformity()' calculates normalized coverages, i.e. the per-base coverages divided by the average coverage over all target bases. The normalized coverage is not dependent on the absolute quantity of sequenced reads and is hence better comparable between different samples or even different experiments. The x-axis in the figure is truncated at 1, which corresponds to the average normalized coverage. The steeper the curve is falling, the less uniform is the coverage.
