    gap penalty in BWA

    Hi,
    I have short question about gap penalty in BWA. The manual said that the gap open penalty is 11 and gap extension penalty is 4. Does the first gap position will be charged 11 or 15?
    Thank you

    I think those are default penalty weights:

    Gap open: cost to make gaps
    Gap extension: cost to make gaps bigger

      Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

      Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

      I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

      Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
