The problem of 'anchorwave proali'

Thank you for the development of the software Anchorwave! Here I have some problems.

I now want to use anchorwave to align my assembled contigs to the reference genome. I want to know if there are some problems in my assembly, such as a position occurs in two contigs, when I use anchorwave proali-R 1-Q 1, facing the same position, how will it return the alignment information of anchor.

Sorry, but I could not understand your question.

I don't know if the following description is clear. Now I have assembled a sample of chr1, which contains multiple contigs. I want to use Anchorwave to align my assembled contigs to the reference genome's chr1. When there are errors in the assembly, such as overlaps between contigA and contigB, which contig will the anchors in these overlap regions be reported to when I use anchorwave proali-R 1-Q 1?

The one with higher continuity would be preferred.

Thank you for your reply. I recently simulated the generation of exon246-256 as anchor. When using anchorwave proali, I found a jump from exon248 to exon255. At the same time, the score of exon256 is very low, and I don't seem to find some parameters to control the score. And how to avoid this not very correct deletion (only one alignment of exon255 supported, exon266 had a very low score).

It is possible that there are some sequences at the end of 184 (the sequence between exon248 and exon249) similar to the anchor sequence far from this position.
