Request for clarification on tags in PAF conversion using pfatools

Open sadikmu opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

I noticed that there are mm, gn, and go tags in the SAM/BAM file converted into PAF using pfatools. However, I couldn't find the definitions of these tags in the reference manual (https://lh3.github.io/minimap2/minimap2.html#10). I would appreciate it if you could provide clarification on what these tags stand for.

Here is an example of the tags in question: tp:A:S mm:i:175 gn:i:167 go:i:64.

Based on the screenshot provided, I am guessing that mm refers to insertion + deletion, but I am uncertain about the rest of the tags.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards, Sadik
