+BESST is designed to infer as much as possible from data. If this is your first time running BESST, it is highly reccomended to run BESST with as few parameters set as possible, i.e.,
 
 ```sh
 runBESST -c /path/to/contigfile.fa -f /path/to/file1.bam /path/to/file2.bam ... -o /path/to/output --orientation {fr/rf}
 ```

 ####  What aligner should I use?
 BESST requires only a sorted and indexed BAM file -- your favourite aligner can be used. However, we have had the best experience with BWA-mem using default parameters on most data used in our evaluations.
