Seed hits is the number of diagonal bands that meet the seed criterion. Sometimes there can be two or three disjoint alignments found therein because of the low-quality drop outs in pacbio reads. That is there is one hit between two reads A and B, but because of the low quality regions of A and B, daligner finds two or three good locally alignment segments between A and B.
Moreover, confirmed hits is the total number of alignments found, so it is generally twice the number as both A->B and B->A are reported. Maybe this should be fixed to be half as much again.

How can "confirmed hits" be greater than "seed hits"?
