Information about a switchback found by examining a template with a tandem (i.e. FF or RR) pair orientation.
The offset in this case is the distance between the end of one read and the beginning of the next. E.g.
01234567890123456789
-----> -----> gap = 2
<----- <----- gap = 1
----->
------> gap = -2
gap
the unsequenced gap between the the 3' end of the "earlier" read and the 5' end of the "later" read.
