Quality scores during mapping #67

Closed ardakdemir closed 5 years ago

ardakdemir commented 5 years ago

I have a question about the the implementation. Are you making use of the quality scores associated with each read during mapping with minimap2 ? In other words does the way we calculate and write the quality scores given in the fastq files affect the performance of the mapper or the overall assembly process?

No, quality scores are not used.

Can you elaborate on why? Are they not that useful?
