Option to adjust LIKESCORE cutoff #341

Closed standage closed 5 years ago

standage commented 5 years ago

Currently, all variant predictions with a likelihood score < 0 are, according to our likelihood model, more likely to be inherited or false variants than true de novo variants. However, in practical terms, the cutoff between real and false variants can be substantially higher, possibly depending on other parameters such as k-size. We should consider providing an option to adjust the exact cutoff.
