Hi, Is there any software can perform large number of long sequence alignment? It's good to get a sam file.

I want to remap denovo assembled scaffolds/contigs to reference genome to identify structural variation.

bwa-mem can do long alignments and will generate SAM/BAM. I have used this to align scaffolds up to 7.5M against a reference genome.
