Allow searching large inversions by reciprocal overlap #47

Open cginer opened 6 years ago

cginer commented 6 years ago

With the current breakpoint-based merging algorithm, large inversions predicted by optical mapping or strand-seq are not identified as known ones, even when it seems they are the same. We have the feeling that adding very large error intervals, although should solve that issue, would also have a high risk of merging different inversions. Perhaps an alternative reciprocal overlap criteria (e.g. >80%) would work better for Mb-long inversions.

In a first step to implement this alternative reciprocal overlap criteria, a new Batch Query option is being tested to be added to the Search menu. The tool accepts the specification of a confidence interval to be added to the query breakpoints, a custom percentage of reciprocal overlap and gives the option to consider either the internal part of the inversion, or the inversion with its breakpoints. image

As a reminder: the number of inversions found that is given in the section header sometimes is wrong.

To be more clear on what each of the searches is doing, I think the different options should be reestructured a bit:
