minimap2

Minimap2 is a fast sequence mapping and alignmentprogram that can find overlaps between long noisy reads, or map longreads or their assemblies to a reference genome optionally with detailedalignment (i.e. CIGAR). At present, it works efficiently with querysequences from a few kilobases to ~100 megabases in length at an errorrate ~15%. Minimap2 outputs in the PAF or the SAM format. On limitedtest data sets, minimap2 is over 20 times faster than most otherlong-read aligners. It will replace BWA-MEM for long reads and contigalignment.
