Subdivides the imported read alignment into subsets and then downsizes each subset by deleting those sequences that have too many gaps or missing data.
A number of overlapping subsets (before and after downsizing) of the input alignment.
Arguments
filename
A fasta file contains thousands of short reads that have been mapped to a reference. The reference and reads that are not directly mapped to the reference need to be removed after mapping.
read_length
An integer (e.g. 250, or 300) giving the read length of your Next-generation Sequencing data. This method is designed for read length >=250bp.
overlap
An integer describing number of base pairs of overlap between adjacent subsets. More overlap means more subsets.
verbose
Turn on (verbose=1; default) or turn off (verbose=0) the output.
