@kosmopoulos.bsky.social @annizlab.bsky.social Hi! we are planning another benchmark run for using mappers/aligners for CRISPR spacer-protospacer analyses, I'll add a reminder to try x-mapper too :)

Thanks! I'd say the conclusion is more like - use bowtie1 + one other tool just to be sure, and verify the alignments reported just in case.
