IDBA-hybrid --similar option default 0.95 #47

Open gushiro opened 6 years ago

gushiro commented 6 years ago

I have a question about IDBA-hybrid and the way it reconstructs contings: The default option in --similar is 95%. Is this number the minimum accepted to reconstruct contigs or the software will only reconstruct contigs with an exact 95% similarity.

For example, What happen if I decrease to --similar = 0.80. Will IDBA-hy consider only regions with 80% of similarity or with 'at least' 80% of similarity?

Thanks for the clarification.
