What does the --closure-search option of TopHat do?

I'd also really like to know what this does. I have some sequence data from PE reads with a range of fragment sizes. If some of the reads meet the criteria for the expected inner distance between mates to be <= 50 bp, but some do not, does anyone have an idea how this would affect mapping? -
From tophat manual:
I believe it has to work with the following, but haven't test yet.Code:--closure-search Enables the mate pair closure-based search for junctions. Closure-based search should only be used when the expected inner distance between mates is small (<= 50bp)
Code:--min-closure-exon During closure search for paired end reads, exonic hops in the potential splice graph must be at least this long. The default is 50. --min-closure-intron The minimum intron length that may be found during closure search. The default is 50. --max-closure-intron The maximum intron length that may be found during closure search. The default is 5000.

Perhaps I should be more specific.

Did one of you guys find out what this does? I am also curious.Comment

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
