Minimap2: pairwise alignment for nucleotide sequences

Explore this paper's citation graph

Summary

Minimap2 is a general-purpose alignment program to map DNA or long mRNA sequences against a large reference database and is 3-4 times as fast as mainstream short-read mappers at comparable accuracy, and is ≥30 times faster than long-read genomic or cDNA mapper at higher accuracy, surpassing most aligners specialized in one type of alignment.
