Every candidate stays in the table with the reason it failed, so you can see what was considered and rejected. Full options under Usage.
hgt-site detects candidate horizontal gene transfer and integration sites from short-read sequencing data. It finds places where DNA from bacteria, viruses or other organisms may have been inserted into a host genome, such as a human genome. Most bacterial reads in these samples come from contamination or from DNA fragments joined by chance in the lab, so hgt-site checks each possible site against what chance alone would produce and keeps only the sites with clearly more support.
