General questions #18

Hi

A couple of general questions.

  1. Could a more robust sequencing profile be generated if an average was generated from several BAM files? So for instance, if sequencing profiles were generated from several different BAM+VCF files using seqToProfile, can some or all of the values from the resulting model profiles be averaged to reach a consensus profile?
  2. The duplication rate I'm getting from simulated reads is very low (0.6%). Is there a way to manipulate this during simulation to better reflect what I observe in my actual sequencing data?
