Hello, everyone. I have a data analysed by nucmer in mummer. One ouput file is tiling.

These columns are as follows: [1] start in the reference [2] end in the reference [3] gap between this contig and the next [4] length of this contig [5] alignment coverage of this contig [6] average percent identity of this contig [7] contig orientation [8] contig ID.

[3] gap between this contig and the next, if this column id is negative, that means that this contig and next contig overlap. So, I do some blasts, but I find that the result of contigs is not overlaping.

I am confused.

Best.
