Tip: You can generate summary of coverage files using scripts.
Part 2: LASER
We plan to address (maybe three) tasks here: simulation, PCA, and Procrustes You will need to download software from Chaonglong...
How to interpret your sults
You results will be output as xxx. An example of outputs are like below
