    Hello,

    Thanks for the glossary entry.

    Perhaps you a conflating two different concepts here? I am not sure that reference bias (the tendency to miss alignments or report incorrect alignments for reads containing non-reference alleles 10.1186/s13059-020-02229-3, 10.1186/s13059-020-02160-7) is the same thing as bait bias as suggested above? Reference bias also occurs in the absence of any hybridization enrichment steps... I am not sure the point you are trying to make with the example you give...

    all the best, thanks
