Fig. 3From: Alvis: a tool for contig and read ALignment VISualisation and chimera detectionExample alignments. Read 1 is classified as chimeric. Read 2 is not classified as chimeric because the alignments overlap. This case is ambiguous—if the overlap is small, or there is sequence shared between Reference 1 and Reference 2, then this read could be chimeric. Read 3 is not classified as chimeric because the coverage of the alignments is too small. Read 4 is not classified as chimeric because the alignment to Reference 1 is too small.
