Minimap2-2.22 (r1101)
When choosing the best alignment, this release uses logarithm gap penalty and
query-specific mismatch penalty. It improves the sensitivity to long INDELs in
repetitive regions.
Other notable changes:
-
Bugfix: fixed an indirect memory leak that may waste a large amount of
memory given highly repetitive reference such as a 16S RNA database (#749).
All versions of minimap2 have this issue. -
New feature: added --cap-kalloc to reduce the peak memory. This option is
not enabled by default but may become the default in future releases.
Known issue:
- Minimap2 may take a long time to map a read (#771). So far it is not clear
if this happens to v2.18 and earlier versions.
