Is minimap algorithm deterministic? #10

Closed ksahlin closed 7 years ago

ksahlin commented 7 years ago

I'm using minimap as part of my software and I'm currently investigating why my algorithm isn't deterministic. Minimap seems to give identical output for identical runs on my smaller test data but I'm unsure if thats the case for my larger datasets. I'm not entirely sure that minimap is causing the discrepancy but the discrepancy happens somewhere "close to" that part in the code. Just wanted to check with you before investigating it further. Is this something you know off the top of your head?

Ok, I did more extensive analysis on bigger data sets and it definitely looks like minimap is deterministic.

Thanks for the tool!
