Figure 3.
A schematic diagram showing the algorithm used for detecting tandem alleles. The dot plots (A) and (B) show the self-alignments. An algorithm is used to slice the alignment panel into small cells based on the coordinates for the ends of alignment portions (C). A pair of tandem alleles are detected by the algorithm and shown in detail (D), where length_1, length_2, interval_1, interval_2, coverage_1, and coverage_2 are adjustable parameters used to detect potential cases of tandem assembled alleles.
