minimap2¶
Description¶
Minimap2 is a fast sequence mapping and alignment program that can find overlaps between long noisy reads, or map long reads or their assemblies to a reference genome optionally with detailed alignment (i.e. CIGAR). At present, it works efficiently with query sequences from a few kilobases to ~100 megabases in length at an error rate ~15%. Minimap2 outputs in the PAF or the SAM format. On limited test data sets, minimap2 is over 20 times faster than most other long-read aligners. It will replace BWA-MEM for long reads and contig alignment.
