Length calculation when used in feature mode #33

Closed tjakobi closed 7 years ago

tjakobi commented 7 years ago

When run in feature mode, in order to compute the peaks / length the length is taken from the annotation.

This behavior will cause problems when the circRNA is located in an exon-rich region of the gene while the remaining linear part may span several KB of intron space (or vice-versa). It would make more sense to only account for accumulated feature length instead.

Tested with full data set and thought to be stable now.
