Mapping reads to a reference genome is an essential step in many types of genomic analysis, such as variant calling and gene expression analysis.

FYI, I've found it useful to use MUMmer to extract the specific changes that Racon makes, so I can evaluate them individually: minimap -t 24 assembly.fasta long_reads.fastq.gz | racon -t 24 long_reads.fastq.gz - assembly.fasta...
