 the threads are decompression threads so increasing up to about 4 works.
 
+## Examples
+
+#### Duplication
+
+Here is a duplication with clear break-points (`DHD`) and clear
+change in depth (`DHBFC`)
+

+
+`duphold` annotated this with
+
++ **DHD**: 2
++ **DHBFC**: 1.79
+
+where together these indicate rapid (DUP-like) change in depth at the break-points and a coverage that 1.79 times higher than the mean for the genome--again indicative of a DUP. Together, these recapitulate (or anticipate) what we see on visual inspection.
+
+#### Deletion
+
+A clear deletion will have rapid drop in depth at the left and increase in depth at the right and a lower mean coverage.

+
+`duphold` annotated this with:
+
++ **DHD**: -2
++ **DHBFC**: 0.6
+
+These indicate that both break-points are consistent with a deletion and that the coverage is ~60% of expected. So this is a clear deletion.

 I stole the idea of annotating SVs with depth-change from Ira Hall.
