## Introduction

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,
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][paf] or
the [SAM format][sam]. On limited test data sets, minimap2 is over 20 times

Minimap2 is the successor of [minimap][minimap]. It uses a similar

* Minimap2 does not work well with Illumina short reads as of now.

* Minimap2 requires SSE2 instructions to compile. It is possible to add
non-SSE2 support, but it would minimap2 times slower.
