A measure based on the number of reads that only cover position p without covering its neighboring position ( p ± 1) in the direction of the gap is calculated. In other words, we find the ratio of the intersection (orange area) and the union (yellow and red areas) of the two sets of reads that cover p or p ± 1 (Figure 1). Here, N(p), N(p ± 1), and N(p &p ± 1) are the number of reads that cover position p, position p ± 1, and both positions, respectively (Methods).
