.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
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). For
reference-based alignment, it works efficiently with query sequences from a few
kilobases to ~100 megabases in length at a error rate ~15%.
