The memory unit is megabyte (MB). 1Size of the genomic region to be visualized. Values in parentheses indicate that the corresponding NGS viewer did not display a base-level read coverage, where Tablet shows summarized profiles in which the read counts of 500 genomic positions are averaged to a value. *The viewer does not show read coverage at these regions.
