In the article it described the process of finding active regions. I found Downsampling step in final post-processing quite confusing. Could someone explain the reason for this step?
There is a final post-processing step to clean up and trim the ActiveRegion:
Downsample remaining reads to a maximum of 1000 reads per sample, but respecting a minimum of 5 reads starting per position. This is performed after any downsampling by the traversal itself (-dt, -dfrac, -dcov etc.) and cannot be overriden from the command line.
