Hello, 

Here is my output from read_distribution.py. How do I tell how many reads were aligned to intergenic regions?
Thanks!

subtract tags mapped to (CDS_Exons  + 5'UTR_Exons + 3'UTR_Exons + Introns) from "Total Assigned Tags".

Thanks! Also, is there a reason why it looks as if no reads are aligning to either the 5' or 3' UTR exons?

Sorry for late reply. It's probably because 3' and 5' UTR were not defined in you BED file.  Check your BED file, if coordinates in column2 and column7 are the same (and coordinates in column3 and column8 are the same),  your BED file only defines exons but does not distinguish UTR exons and CDS exons.
