Minipileup algorithm #10

Closed saassli21 closed 3 months ago

saassli21 commented 3 months ago

Good morning,

First I want to thank you for this wonderful tool. In fact, I am particularly interested in understanding the algorithm behind Minipileup. While I have reviewed your response on issue #9 , I find myself needing a bit more detail to fully grasp how it operates. Could you please provide a more in-depth explanation of the Minipileup algorithm?

Thank you very much for your time

It just counts bases. Nothing special. But if you want to "fully grasp how it operates", I am afraid you will have to read code.

@ it's a pairwise comparison ? like a blastn ?
