Increase excessBandwidth for SC2 datasets #193

Closed corneliusroemer closed 6 months ago

corneliusroemer commented 6 months ago

Increase Nextclade alignment parameter "excessBandwidth" from 9 to 12 to correctly align a complex pattern of indels that has arisen in Spike NTD with the occurrence of S:31- in some JN.1. The bandwidth is chosen to be as small as possible (to ensure fast runtime) but as large as necessary for correct alignment. As a result, occasional adjustments like here are required. Nothing else is changed in this SARS-CoV-2 dataset update.
