Ambiguity between query/target in docs #499

Open mikessh opened 5 years ago

mikessh commented 5 years ago

Read sequence is called targetSequences in the output. While in the mutation format description in docs we have

" Mutations are encoded as a list of single-nucleotide edits (similar to what is used in definition of Levenshtein distance, i.e. insertions, deletions or substitutions); if one apply these mutations to aligned subsequence of target sequence, one will obtain aligned subsequence of query sequence. "

so here the target is actually the germline sequence and query is the read sequence. Consider renaming targetSequences -> querySequences in the output table?
