CLARIFICATION: What is limiting UNCALLED from being evaluated for r9.4.1? #29

Closed harisankarsadasivan closed 3 years ago

harisankarsadasivan commented 3 years ago

wouldn't UNCALLED work if the kmer model is replaced with r9.4 (r9.4.1 seems to be unavaialble) and input dataset is from r9.4.1?

skovaka commented 3 years ago

UNCALLED works with r9.4.1. The signal characteristics are equivalent to r9.4, and UNCALLED has actually mainly been tested using r9.4.1 data. I'll update the README to reflect that.

@skovaka, thanks this helps. One last thing, did you observe 5mer model performs better than 6mer model or were they equivalent for event detection?

skovaka commented 3 years ago

They are pretty much equivalent. If you look at the means for 6-mers that have a 5bp suffix/prefix match you'll see they're nearly identical, indicating the 6th base doesn't add much information.

Thank you @skovaka
