End-Start Constraint Element

Add the End-Start constraint to two algorithm elements. Let’s denote these elements as alg1 and alg2.


Constraint Explanation

Let:

  • alg1_annot_end := the last nucleotide of an annotation obtained from alg1
  • alg2_annot_start := the first nucleotide of an annotation obtained from alg2

The resulting annotations must satisfy the following rule:

Min distance ≤ Distance(alg1_annot_end, alg2_annot_start) ≤ Max distance


Parameters in GUI

ParameterDescriptionDefault Value
Min distanceMinimum distance between an alg1 annotation end and an alg2 annotation start.0bp
Max distanceMaximum distance between an alg1 annotation end and an alg2 annotation start.0bp
