Black line between two reads in IGV

[kasthuri]

It will be great if somebody can enlighten me on what does a black line between two consecutive reads in IGV, represent? I am attaching a pic. I tried searching but couldn't find any info.

Thanks

That's a deletion in those reads relative to the reference.

Thanks! I don't think they have this info in the IGV documentation.

You're both correct, we'll update our documentation, thanks for pointing this out. That is a single read with a deletion, not 2 reads.
