## Limitations
* At the alignment phase, minimap2 performs global alignments between minimizer
hits. If the positions of these minimizer hits are incorrect, the final
alignment may be suboptimal or unnecessarily fragmented. This should happen
rarely with the latest version.
* Minimap2 may produce suboptimal alignments through long low-complexity
regions where seed positions may be inaccurate.
* Minimap2 may produce poor alignments that may need post-filtering. We are
still exploring a reliable and consistent way to report good alignments.
