I can't tell from the documentation exactly what the --normshift option does. It seems that --maxdist ensures two variants are near one another, --normsizediff ensures they're approximately the same length, and --normdist ensures that they contain approximately the same edits to the reference sequence. Is --normshift similar to --maxdist, and ensures that the location of one variant is not too far from the other, but this time relative to the SV's total length?
Hi @nhansen,
I can't tell from the documentation exactly what the
--normshift
option does. It seems that--maxdist

similar to--maxdist
, and ensures that the location of one variant is not too far from the other, but this time relative to the SV's total length?Thanks in advance for the clarification, Tim
