Hi, In configuration.json at lines 18-19 there are 2 parameters for the bam file. I suppose that "is" means insertion dimension, but I really can't unterstand the meaning of "std". I want to run GAPPadder to its full potential, what I have to put for std? Thank you in advance

Hi, "is" means mean insert size of the read pairs. And "std" is the standard derivation of the insert size.
