Freebayes usage of --haplotype-length and --max-complex-gap

Hi All,

I am analyzing my ddRADseq data from a diploid organism using Freebayes. In my case, fragments 450-550bp were sequenced with 300bp paired-end reads. My goal is to figure out the two haplotypes of each sample.

I tried to follow the method below (From BioStars provided by Erik). But I did't quite understand what "--max-complex-gap" does. It seems "--max-complex-gap" is limited by the length of the reads, does that mean I can set it as high as 300 in my case? Also I was wondering what "--haplotype-length" does?

Since ddRADseq does not provide the information across whole genome, I also wonder how Freebayes calls a haplotype across whole genome or across different chromosomes?

Hope someone could help me out. I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance!
