How to know if Other possible strain is highly supported? #17

Hello! I've been using VirStrain to investigate SARS-CoV-2 . May I kindly ask what you mean about "10 mutation number can be a strong evidence for other possible strains". Where can I see the mutation number? Is it the Valid Map Rate? Thank you so much for taking time to answer.

Hi, thanks for using VirStrain!

Yes, the Valid Map Rate reflects the covered sites. For example, 3/1100 of Valid Map Rate means there are three different sites covered compared to the most possible strain.

Any other problems, please let me know. :)
