Articles and complete workflowsFunction referenceReproducible galleryFrequently asked questionsMigrate to the candidate APITerminology and design sourcesDevelopment status and changesConverts zero-based half-open PAF query/target intervals to one-based
inclusive endpoints. Query endpoints increase; target endpoints decrease
for relative strand "-". This display convention preserves relative
orientation and does not infer a biological strand for either sequence.
Value
A link data frame with canonical endpoints, qlen, slen,
nmatch, length, pident, mapq, relative orientation, original
zero-based coordinates, tags and .source_line. The ggchord_import
attribute records input/output coordinate conventions and files.
Details
length is the reported alignment block length, including gaps, and
pident is 100 * nmatch / length using the reported PAF fields. Both
counts may be approximate when the producer did not compute an alignment.
The importer does not recompute an alignment, validate a CIGAR, or claim
exact base identity. pident_basis records this ratio's provenance.
Mapping quality 255 means unavailable: mapq becomes NA, while
source_mapq retains the original value. Optional typed tags are retained
verbatim in the tags list-column, including unknown tags and their order.
