Miniprot-0.2 (r116)
Pre-releaseNotable changes:
-
New feature: output GFF3 with option
--gff
. PAF alignments are embedded in
##PAF
lines in the output GFF3. -
Improvement: give a bonus score -B if extension reaches the end of a protein.
BWA-MEM and minimap2 both have this heuristic. -
Improvement: pay more effort to the first and the last exons. This increases
the sensitivity at the cost of performance. -
Improvement: increased non-canonical splicing penalty -C from 6 to 11. This
increases overall specificity. -
Improvement: rank an alignment with the DP score disregarding introns. This
is to reduce the effect pseudogenes. Minimap2 uses the same strategy. -
Bug fixes: fixed incorrect CIGAR in corner cases and patched a minor memory
leak.
This version works on several real datasets to decent accuracy without crashing
or memory leaks. It is ready for more users.
