You could use mapPacBio.sh from BBMap (which chunks input sequences into 6 kb pieces and then aligns them).
In this size range though you could use BLAT or LASTZ as other alternatives.Leave a comment:

Align full length contigs instead of reads
Hello,
Splice aligners like HiSAT2 and STAR are optimised to map short reads (~100bp) to large genomes. I have assembled contigs available. I wish to align those contigs to the genomes. Do you think using HiSAT2 and STAR to align the contigs to a long genome will be a good choice? If not, could anyone suggest a better alternative?
Thank you

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Today, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
