As an example, Mashmap can map a human genome assembly to the human reference genome in about one minute total execution time and < 4 GB memory using just 8 CPU threads, achieving more than an order of magnitude improvement in both runtime and memory over alternative methods. We describe the algorithms associated with Mashmap, and report on speed, scalability, and accuracy of the software in the publications listed [below](#publications). Unlike traditional mappers, MashMap does not compute exact sequence alignments. In future, we plan to add an optional alignment support to generate base-to-base alignments.
