Fig. 2From: smsMap: mapping single molecule sequencing reads by locating the alignment starting positionsA toy example to illustrate the covering and non-covering alignments. x, y and z are different alignments obtained by different methods for the same read. We can see that alignments x and y cover each other as aligned regions on the reference genome share more than 90% overlap. On the other hand, the alignment z does not cover either alignment x or yBack to article page
