Figure 3From: Optimal reference sequence selection for genome assembly using minimum description length principleRemoving insertions in the reference sequence. (a) Reads are derived from the novel sequence. (b) The reference sequence, S R , contains two insertions, shown as shaded grey boxes. (c) The proposed MDL process generates θ. The process removes only those insertions which are larger than τ1 but smaller than τ2; where τ1 and τ2 are user-defined. To remove the other insertion the value of τ2 could be increased.Back to article page
