repeat masking #150

Closed evo-eco-gen closed 1 year ago

evo-eco-gen commented 1 year ago

Hi, Would you recommend repeat masking the genomes before alignment? On the minimap2 repository Heng Li recommends using unmasked, but I am not sure if that's the consensus.

I do not recommend repeat masking.
