4.4 Insert size
When you’ve done your read-mapping, you can also inspect the insert-sizes, size of the actual sequenced fragments, quite easily. Picard-tools have a ready made tool for this called CollectInsertSizeMetrics.

You can inspect the insert size distribution by opening the pdf file in firefox.
