Hi all,
I'd like to understand the CIGAR entry for minimap2 alignments. The numbers of cigar entries for a given read seems to not line up with the sequence...
Does anyone have an explanation of CIGAR entry for minimap2?
Thanks
This is for nanopore long read alignments.
Please add details (=data examples). Words alone often do not suffice.
The minimap2 CIGAR structure is not special, it follows the SAM specifications.
