These are simulated Illumina reads and contain realistic base qualities generated from Illumina short reads. Each divergence represents the average percent of mismatches in the reads. So 0.1 means 10% mismatches on the average. The gaps are randomly chosen to occur in the read or the genome and are of length at most 30.
