softmasked bases #11

Open ekg opened 5 years ago

ekg commented 5 years ago

Right now, seqwish will treat softmasked bases as not matching non-softmasked bases. These are represented as lower and upper case. Although you can prepare the input for seqwish like this: awk '/^>/ { print } !/^>/ {print toupper($0)}', doing so is annoying and will confuse users. It should be that seqwish defaults to internally upper-casing things, but optionally can be told that it's working on something other than DNA, in which case it shouldn't.
