consider adding miniprot for spliced alignment #814

Open hyphaltip opened 1 year ago

It may be worth trying miniprot for spliced alignments as an alternative path for generating these exon support results.

Though in my tests I found it didn't always get the full alignment splicing boundaries so may need some additional testing. But this combines the search (diamond/tblastn) + spliced align (exonerate) steps and maybe potentially faster?

Yes worth adding -- but probably just wait for funannotate v2 -- a slew of other changes are waiting as well.
