This is a feature release. It improves single-end short-read alignment and
comes with Python bindings. Detailed changes include:

  • Added the sr preset for single-end short-read alignment. In this mode,
    minimap2 runs faster than BWA-MEM, but is slightly less accurate on
    simulated data sets. Paired-end alignment is not supported as of now.

  • Improved mapping quality estimate with more accurate identification of
    repetitive hits. This mainly helps short-read alignment.

  • Implemented mappy, a Python binding for minimap2, which is available
    from PyPI and can be installed with pip install --user mappy. Python users
    can perform read alignment without the minimap2 executable.

  • Restructured the indexing APIs and documented key minimap2 APIs in the
    header file minimap.h. Updated example.c with the new APIs. Old APIs still
    work but may become deprecated in future.

This release may output alignments different from the previous version, though
the overall alignment statistics, such as the number of aligned bases and long
gaps, remain close.
