Detecting variation in ploidy within and between genomes

Abstract

samples, thus missing this biological event as far as I understand it. Still, this is interpreted as a success of the method. The authors might like to clarify their specific goals with this analysis, and what kind of biological pattern or structure they are targetting. If the idea is to identify polyploid segments having accumulated a certain amount of sequence variation, as seems implicit in the empirical analysis section, then this should probably be stated more explicitly and discussed.
