You may also specify a set of intervals to mask. There are several overlap options: * Across Strands: Random regions are allowed to overlap only if they are on different strands. * Any: All overlaps are allowed. * None: No overlapping regions are allowed. The second step will let you select a bounding region of interest. .. class:: infomark **Note:** If you do not wish to mask a set of intervals, change the Use Mask option to No, this option will override any Mask files selected.
