Reconciling recombination events #54

Open ArtPoon opened 1 year ago

From Darren:

OpenRDP does not seem to make an attempt to reconcile recombination events that yielded the detected recombinant sequences with the recombinant signals it detects. From what I understand, with OpenRDP if two sequences in a datasets are both descended from an ancestral recombinant they will not be identified as sharing evidence of the same ancestral recombination event. Is that right? I couldn't see any code in openRDP for reconciling/mapping the multitudes of detectable recombination signals to individual actual recombination events.

First step is to locate this functionality in the RDP code that was provided
