The number of SupportReads is not integer

[Bathroomboss]

Dear Dr. Tianxiong,
TEMP2 is very useful and recently I used it to process my data and got the output file -- ${File}.insertion.bed, but I noticed something puzzled me. In the eighth column, which represents the support reads, there seems to appear decimals.

The pictures below are some examples.

I would appreciate it if you could explain the reason behind the appearance of a decimal point in this field.

Best wishes

Hi Liang, Sometimes a read pair can support multiple transposon insertions due to homology, e.g. gypsy and gypsy2; or aluY and aluYa. In this case, a read is counted as 1 / number of supporting TEs for each supported transposon. Best, Tianxiong
