+.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). At present,
+it works efficiently with query sequences from a few kilobases to ~100
+megabases in length at a error rate ~15%. Minimap2 outputs in the PAF or the
+SAM format.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.SS Indexing options
+.TP 10
+.BI -k \ INT
+Minimizer k-mer length [15]
+.TP
+.BI -w \ INT
+Minimizer window size [10]. A minimizer is the smallest k-mer
+in a window of w consecutive k-mers.
+.TP
+.B -H
+Use homopolymer-compressed (HPC) minimizers. An HPC sequence is constructed by
+contracting homopolymer runs to a single base. An HPC minimizer is a minimizer
+on the HPC sequence.
+.TP
+.BI -I \ NUM
+Load at most
+.I NUM
+target bases into RAM for indexing [4G]. If there are more than
+.I NUM
+bases in
+.IR target.fa ,
+minimap2 needs to read
+.I query.fa
+multiple times to map it against each batch of target sequences.
+.I NUM
+may be ending with k/K/m/M/g/G. NB: mapping quality is incorrect given a
+multi-part index.
+.TP
+.B --idx-no-seq
+Don't store target sequences in the index. It saves disk space and memory but
+the index generated with this option will not work with
+.B -a
+or
+.BR -c .
+When base-level alignment is not requested, this option is automatically applied.
+.TP
+.BI -d \ FILE
+Save the minimizer index of
+.I target.fa
+to
+.I FILE
+[no dump]. Minimap2 indexing is fast. It can index the human genome in a couple
+of minutes. If even shorter startup time is desired, use this option to save
+the index. Indexing options are fixed in the index file. When an index file is
+provided as the target sequences, options
+.BR -H ,
+.BR -k ,
+.BR -w ,
+.B -I
+will be effectively overridden by the options stored in the index file.
+.TP
+.BI --alt \ FILE
+List of ALT contigs [null]
+.TP
+.BI --alt-drop \ FLOAT
+Drop ALT hits by
+.I FLOAT
+fraction when ranking and computing mapping quality [0.15]
+.SS Mapping options
+.TP 10
+.BI -f \ FLOAT | INT1 [, INT2 ]
+If fraction, ignore top
+.I FLOAT
+fraction of most frequent minimizers [0.0002]. If integer,
+ignore minimizers occuring more than
+.I INT1
+times.
+.I INT2
+is only effective in the
+.B --sr
+or
+.B -xsr
+mode, which sets the threshold for a second round of seeding.
+.TP
+.BI -U \ INT1 [, INT2 ]
+Lower and upper bounds of k-mer occurrences [10,1000000]. The final k-mer occurrence threshold is
+.RI max{ INT1 ,\ min{ INT2 ,
+.BR -f }}.
+This option prevents excessively small or large
+.B -f
+estimated from the input reference. Available since r1034 and deprecating
+.B --min-occ-floor
+in earlier versions of minimap2.
+.TP
+.BI --q-occ-frac \ FLOAT
+Discard a query minimizer if its occurrence is higher than
+.I FLOAT
+fraction of query minimizers and than the reference occurrence threshold
+[0.01]. Set 0 to disable. Available since r1105.
+.TP
+.BI -e \ INT
+Sample a high-frequency minimizer every
+.I INT
+basepairs [500].
+.TP
+.BI -g \ NUM
+Stop chain enlongation if there are no minimizers within
+.IR NUM -bp
+[10k].
+.TP
+.BI -r \ NUM1 [, NUM2 ]
+Bandwidth for chaining and base alignment [500,20k].
+.I NUM1
+is used for initial chaining and alignment extension;
+.I NUM2
+for RMQ-based re-chaining and closing gaps in alignments.
+.TP
+.BI -n \ INT
+Discard chains consisting of
+.RI < INT
+number of minimizers [3]
+.TP
+.BI -m \ INT
+Discard chains with chaining score
+.RI < INT
+[40]. Chaining score equals the approximate number of matching bases minus a
+concave gap penalty. It is computed with dynamic programming.
+.TP
+.B -D
+If query sequence name/length are identical to the target name/length, ignore
+diagonal anchors. This option also reduces DP-based extension along the
+diagonal.
+.TP
+.B -P
+Retain all chains and don't attempt to set primary chains. Options
+.B -p
+and
+.B -N
+have no effect when this option is in use.
+.TP
+.BR --dual = yes | no
+If
+.BR no ,
+skip query-target pairs wherein the query name is lexicographically greater
+than the target name [yes]
+.TP
+.B -X
+Equivalent to
+.RB ' -DP
+.BR --dual = no
+.BR --no-long-join '.
+Primarily used for all-vs-all read overlapping.
+.TP
+.BI -p \ FLOAT
+Minimal secondary-to-primary score ratio to output secondary mappings [0.8].
+Between two chains overlaping over half of the shorter chain (controlled by
+.BR -M ),
+the chain with a lower score is secondary to the chain with a higher score.
+If the ratio of the scores is below
+.IR FLOAT ,
+the secondary chain will not be outputted or extended with DP alignment later.
+This option has no effect when
+.B -X
+is applied.
+.TP
+.BI -N \ INT
+Output at most
+.I INT
+secondary alignments [5]. This option has no effect when
+.B -X
+is applied.
+.TP
+.BI -G \ NUM
+Maximum gap on the reference (effective with
+.BR -xsplice / --splice ).
+This option also changes the chaining and alignment band width to
+.IR NUM .
+Increasing this option slows down spliced alignment. [200k]
+.TP
+.BI -F \ NUM
+Maximum fragment length (aka insert size; effective with
+.BR -xsr / --frag = yes )
+[800]
+.TP
+.BI -M \ FLOAT
+Mark as secondary a chain that overlaps with a better chain by
+.I FLOAT
+or more of the shorter chain [0.5]
+.TP
+.BR --rmq = no | yes
+Use the minigraph chaining algorithm [no]. The minigraph algorithm is better
+for aligning contigs through long INDELs.
+.TP
+.B --hard-mask-level
+Honor option
+.B -M
+and disable a heurstic to save unmapped subsequences and disables
+.BR --mask-len .
+.TP
+.BI --mask-len \ NUM
+Keep an alignment if dropping it leaves an unaligned region on query longer than
+.IR INT
+[inf]. Effective without
+.BR --hard-mask-level .
+.TP
+.BI --max-chain-skip \ INT
+A heuristics that stops chaining early [25]. Minimap2 uses dynamic programming
+for chaining. The time complexity is quadratic in the number of seeds. This
+option makes minimap2 exits the inner loop if it repeatedly sees seeds already
+on chains. Set
+.I INT
+to a large number to switch off this heurstics.
+.TP
+.BI --max-chain-iter \ INT
+Check up to
+.I INT
+partial chains during chaining [5000]. This is a heuristic to avoid quadratic
+time complexity in the worst case.
+.TP
+.BI --chain-gap-scale \ FLOAT
+Scale of gap cost during chaining [1.0]
+.TP
+.B --no-long-join
+Disable the long gap patching heuristic. When this option is applied, the
+maximum alignment gap is mostly controlled by
+.BR -r .
+.TP
+.B --splice
+Enable the splice alignment mode.
+.TP
+.B --sr
+Enable short-read alignment heuristics. In the short-read mode, minimap2
+applies a second round of chaining with a higher minimizer occurrence threshold
+if no good chain is found. In addition, minimap2 attempts to patch gaps between
+seeds with ungapped alignment.
+.TP
+.BI --split-prefix \ STR
+Prefix to create temporary files. Typically used for a multi-part index.
+.TP
+.BR --frag = no | yes
+Whether to enable the fragment mode [no]
+.TP
+.B --for-only
+Only map to the forward strand of the reference sequences. For paired-end
+reads in the forward-reverse orientation, the first read is mapped to forward
+strand of the reference and the second read to the reverse stand.
+.TP
+.B --rev-only
+Only map to the reverse complement strand of the reference sequences.
+.TP
+.BR --heap-sort = no | yes
+If yes, sort anchors with heap merge, instead of radix sort. Heap merge is
+faster for short reads, but slower for long reads. [no]
+.TP
+.B --no-pairing
+Treat two reads in a pair as independent reads. The mate related fields in SAM
+are still properly populated.
+.TP
+.B --no-hash-name
+Produce the same alignment for identical sequences regardless of their sequence names.
+.SS Alignment options
+.TP 10
+.BI -A \ INT
+Matching score [2]
+.TP
+.BI -B \ INT
+Mismatching penalty [4]
+.TP
+.BI -O \ INT1[,INT2]
+Gap open penalty [4,24]. If
+.I INT2
+is not specified, it is set to
+.IR INT1 .
+.TP
+.BI -E \ INT1[,INT2]
+Gap extension penalty [2,1]. A gap of length
+.I k
+costs
+.RI min{ O1 + k * E1 , O2 + k * E2 }.
+In the splice mode, the second gap penalties are not used.
+.TP
+.BI -C \ INT
+Cost for a non-canonical GT-AG splicing (effective with
+.BR --splice )
+[0]
+.TP
+.BI -z \ INT1[,INT2]
+Truncate an alignment if the running alignment score drops too quickly along
+the diagonal of the DP matrix (diagonal X-drop, or Z-drop) [400,200]. If the
+drop of score is above
+.IR INT2 ,
+minimap2 will reverse complement the query in the related region and align
+again to test small inversions. Minimap2 truncates alignment if there is an
+inversion or the drop of score is greater than
+.IR INT1 .
+Decrease
+.I INT2
+to find small inversions at the cost of performance and false positives.
+Increase
+.I INT1
+to improves the contiguity of alignment at the cost of poor alignment in the
+middle.
+.TP
+.BI -s \ INT
+Minimal peak DP alignment score to output [40]. The peak score is computed from
+the final CIGAR. It is the score of the max scoring segment in the alignment
+and may be different from the total alignment score.
+.TP
+.BI -u \ CHAR
+How to find canonical splicing sites GT-AG -
+.BR f :
+transcript strand;
+.BR b :
+both strands;
+.BR n :
+no attempt to match GT-AG [n]
+.TP
+.BI --end-bonus \ INT
+Score bonus when alignment extends to the end of the query sequence [0].
+.TP
+.BI --score-N \ INT
+Score of a mismatch involving ambiguous bases [1].
+.TP
+.BR --splice-flank = yes | no
+Assume the next base to a
+.B GT
+donor site tends to be A/G (91% in human and 92% in mouse) and the preceding
+base to a
+.B AG
+acceptor tends to be C/T [no].
+This trend is evolutionarily conservative, all the way to S. cerevisiae
+(PMID:18688272). Specifying this option generally leads to higher junction
+accuracy by several percents, so it is applied by default with
+.BR --splice .
+However, the SIRV control does not honor this trend
+(only ~60%). This option reduces accuracy. If you are benchmarking minimap2
+on SIRV data, please add
+.B --splice-flank=no
+to the command line.
+.TP
+.BR --junc-bed \ FILE
+Gene annotations in the BED12 format (aka 12-column BED), or intron positions
+in 5-column BED. With this option, minimap2 prefers splicing in annotations.
+BED12 file can be converted from GTF/GFF3 with `paftools.js gff2bed anno.gtf'
+[].
+.TP
+.BR --junc-bonus \ INT
+Score bonus for a splice donor or acceptor found in annotation (effective with
+.BR --junc-bed )
+[9].
+.TP
+.BI --end-seed-pen \ INT
+Drop a terminal anchor if
+.IR s <log( g )+ INT ,
+where
+.I s
+is the local alignment score around the anchor and
+.I g
+the length of the terminal gap in the chain. This option is only effective
+with
+.BR --splice .
+It helps to avoid tiny terminal exons. [6]
+.TP
+.B --no-end-flt
+Don't filter seeds towards the ends of chains before performing base-level
+alignment.
+.TP
+.BI --cap-sw-mem \ NUM
+Skip alignment if the DP matrix size is above
+.IR NUM .
+Set 0 to disable [100m].
+.TP
+.BI --cap-kalloc \ NUM
+Free thread-local kalloc memory reservoir if after the alignment the size of the reservoir above
+.IR NUM .
+Set 0 to disable [0].
+.SS Input/output options
+.TP 10
+.B -a
+Generate CIGAR and output alignments in the SAM format. Minimap2 outputs in PAF
+by default.
+.TP
+.BI -o \ FILE
+Output alignments to
+.I FILE
+[stdout].
+.TP
+.B -Q
+Ignore base quality in the input file.
+.TP
+.B -L
+Write CIGAR with >65535 operators at the CG tag. Older tools are unable to
+convert alignments with >65535 CIGAR ops to BAM. This option makes minimap2 SAM
+compatible with older tools. Newer tools recognizes this tag and reconstruct
+the real CIGAR in memory.
+.TP
+.BI -R \ STR
+SAM read group line in a format like
+.B @RG\\\\tID:foo\\\\tSM:bar
+[].
+.TP
+.B -y
+Copy input FASTA/Q comments to output.
+.TP
+.B -c
+Generate CIGAR. In PAF, the CIGAR is written to the `cg' custom tag.
+.TP
+.BI --cs[= STR ]
+Output the
+.B cs
+tag.
+.I STR
+can be either
+.I short
+or
+.IR long .
+If no
+.I STR
+is given,
+.I short
+is assumed. [none]
+.TP
+.B --MD
+Output the MD tag (see the SAM spec).
+.TP
+.B --eqx
+Output =/X CIGAR operators for sequence match/mismatch.
+.TP
+.B -Y
+In SAM output, use soft clipping for supplementary alignments.
+.TP
+.BI --seed \ INT
+Integer seed for randomizing equally best hits. Minimap2 hashes
+.I INT
+and read name when choosing between equally best hits. [11]
+.TP
+.BI -t \ INT
+Number of threads [3]. Minimap2 uses at most three threads when indexing target
+sequences, and uses up to
+.IR INT +1
+threads when mapping (the extra thread is for I/O, which is frequently idle and
+takes little CPU time).
+.TP
+.B -2
+Use two I/O threads during mapping. By default, minimap2 uses one I/O thread.
+When I/O is slow (e.g. piping to gzip, or reading from a slow pipe), the I/O
+thread may become the bottleneck. Apply this option to use one thread for input
+and another thread for output, at the cost of increased peak RAM.
+.TP
+.BI -K \ NUM
+Number of bases loaded into memory to process in a mini-batch [500M].
+Similar to option
+.BR -I ,
+K/M/G/k/m/g suffix is accepted. A large
+.I NUM
+helps load balancing in the multi-threading mode, at the cost of increased
+memory.
+.TP
+.BR --secondary = yes | no
+Whether to output secondary alignments [yes]
+.TP
+.BI --max-qlen \ NUM
+Filter out query sequences longer than
+.IR NUM .
+.TP

+.SH OUTPUT FORMAT
+.PP
+Minimap2 outputs mapping positions in the Pairwise mApping Format (PAF) by
+default. PAF is a TAB-delimited text format with each line consisting of at
+least 12 fields as are described in the following table:
+.TS
+center box;
+cb | cb | cb

+When alignment is available, column 11 gives the total number of sequence
+matches, mismatches and gaps in the alignment; column 10 divided by column 11
+gives the BLAST-like alignment identity. When alignment is unavailable,

+.SH LIMITATIONS
+.TP 2
+*
+Minimap2 may produce suboptimal alignments through long low-complexity regions
+where seed positions may be suboptimal. This should not be a big concern
+because even the optimal alignment may be wrong in such regions.
+.TP
+*
+Minimap2 requires SSE2 or NEON instructions to compile. It is possible to add
+non-SSE2/NEON support, but it would make minimap2 slower by several times.
