What does the --closure-search option of TopHat do?

I'd also really like to know what this does. I have some sequence data from PE reads with a range of fragment sizes. If some of the reads meet the criteria for the expected inner distance between mates to be <= 50 bp, but some do not, does anyone have an idea how this would affect mapping? -
From tophat manual:
I believe it has to work with the following, but haven't test yet.Code:--closure-search Enables the mate pair closure-based search for junctions. Closure-based search should only be used when the expected inner distance between mates is small (<= 50bp)
Code:--min-closure-exon During closure search for paired end reads, exonic hops in the potential splice graph must be at least this long. The default is 50. --min-closure-intron The minimum intron length that may be found during closure search. The default is 50. --max-closure-intron The maximum intron length that may be found during closure search. The default is 5000.

Perhaps I should be more specific.

Did one of you guys find out what this does? I am also curious.Comment

CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).
Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into...07-31-2026, 11:01 AM -
Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.
The systematic characterization of the human proteome has...07-20-2026, 11:48 AM
