Custom genome use isn't clear

[c-guzman]

Hey, thanks for the awesome tool, but it isn't very clear what the input to EGF is.

I had originally assumed that EGF has to be between 0-1. But simply providing the effective genome size is also accepted.

Is providing a custom chromosome fasta file + a effective genome size for the EGF parameter correct? Or what is the actual input required? Do you NEED to calculate the fraction before feeding it i to epic? Or will it calculate it for you with some combination of info?

Thanks!

I will look into this in December when I have a vacation. Can you ping me then? If not, you are likely get good answers by copy-pasting some of the code into GPT4 and asking
