Question regarding --normalise #82

Open cswift3 opened 3 years ago

cswift3 commented 3 years ago

Hello, Can you provide more detail as to how the normalization option in artic minion works? In the documentation, you state "normalise/reduce the number of read alignments to each amplicon." Does this mean that if I use --normalize 200 that once an amplicon reaches 200 reads, the others will be discarded? Does anything happen to amplicons with less than 200 reads?

Thanks for the clarification, Candice
