/* Theory on probability and scoring *ungapped* alignment
 *
 * s'(a,b) = log[P(b|a)/P(b)] = log[4P(b|a)], assuming uniform base distribution
 * s'(a,a) = log(4), s'(a,b) = log(4e/3), where e is the error rate
 *
 * Scale s'(a,b) to s(a,a) s.t. s(a,a)=x. Then s(a,b) = x*s'(a,b)/log(4), or conversely: s'(a,b)=s(a,b)*log(4)/x
 *
 * If the matching score is x and mismatch penalty is -y, we can compute error rate e:
 *   e = .75 * exp[-log(4) * y/x]
 *
 * log P(seq) = \sum_i log P(b_i|a_i) = \sum_i {s'(a,b) - log(4)}
 *   = \sum_i { s(a,b)*log(4)/x - log(4) } = log(4) * (S/x - l)
 *
 * where S=\sum_i s(a,b) is the alignment score. Converting to the phred scale:
 *   Q(seq) = -10/log(10) * log P(seq) = 10*log(4)/log(10) * (l - S/x) = 6.02 * (l - S/x)
 *
 *
 * Gap open (zero gap): q' = log[P(gap-open)], r' = log[P(gap-ext)] (see Durbin et al. (1998) Section 4.1)
 * Then q = x*log[P(gap-open)]/log(4), r = x*log[P(gap-ext)]/log(4)
 *
 * When there are gaps, l should be the length of alignment matches (i.e. the M operator in CIGAR)
