Wrong default value for -minSTRbp #9

Hi,

I'm running gfa and noticed that my STR motifs weren't so small as I had expected. In the readme, it says that gfa searches for STRs down to 8bp ("-minSTRbp <8>; The minimum overall length for qualification as a short tandem repeat."), but my shortest STR was 10bp. In the source code, when I search for this flag I found that this parameter is actually set to 10 (in gfa.c, line 145: int minSTRbp = 10;). Is there a typo in the manual, or was the default supposed to be 8bp? Is there a rational for this number?

Thanks!
