Nominal Length And Tophat Inner Mate Distance

Question

[narges]

Hi, I wanted to know whether I can use the nominal length provided in EBI website as the tophat inner mate distance or not?like the one here: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/data/view/ERX002692&display=xml

Ofcourse I searched for my question and I found something similar here: http://www.biostars.org/post/show/12720/

But the answers are seems to be in contradiction with each other. Any new idea? Thank you

I would rather prefer inner (mate/pair) distance for tophat
