    Hello dear SkyWarrior;

     

    What is the difference between BAIT_INTERVALS and TARGET_INTERVALS?

    Bait intervals is a seperate file for indicating positions of your baits to capture target regions. Target intervals is the final bed file for the exome set. Some manufacturers serve bait intervals as a seperate file some do not. If you don't have it just use the same interval file for targets for both options. You will eventually pay attention to your target coverage and unique read mapping.
