Default seed weight
Setting this option will allow Mauve to select an initial match seed weight that is appropriate for the length of sequences being aligned. The default seed size for 1MB genomes is typically around 11, is around 15 for 5MB genomes, and continues to grow with the size of the genomes being aligned. The defaults may be conservative (too large), especially when aligning more divergent genomes. On the other hand, higher seed weights reduce noisy matching and can lead to better alignment in some cases.
