What parameters best resmble blastn #54
Comments
What is the exact command line? I would use something close to the default setting like: minimap2 -c nt.gz contigs.fa Note that you need to rebuild the index as Let me know what you get. Thanks. |
PS: |
Command line was: mapping Trying with default and -k 15 -w 5 |
Just curious: how is your experiment going? Can minimap2 achieve acceptable sensitivity? |
Hi, In terms of mappability, results are consistent with short reads. Now I'm checking if taxonomic profiles are also the same. Will let you know asap |
I am closing this for now. When you have more information to share, feel free to post new information here or create a new issue. I will be notified either way. Thanks! |
I built a minimap2 index of the NCBI NT database.
I have a series of metagenomic contigs I want to align against said database. Using blast (megablast), around 40% of my sequences have mappings against the nt reference.
Using minimap2 with -x asm10, I only get ~20% contigs with mappings to my reference.
What parameters in minimap2 would best fit this task? I've tried reducing mismatch and gap penalties without success.
