 ## mm2-fast
 ### Introduction
-mm2-fast is an accelerated implementation of minimap2 on modern CPUs. mm2-fast accelerates all three major modules of minimap2: Seeding, Chaining, and Alignment, achieving up to 3.5x speedup over minimap2. 
+mm2-fast is an accelerated implementation of minimap2 on modern CPUs. mm2-fast accelerates all the three major modules of minimap2: (a) seeding, (b) chaining, and (c) pairwise alignment, achieving up to 3.5x speedup over minimap2. 
 mm2-fast is a drop-in replacement of minimap2, providing the same functionality with the exact same output.
-In the current version, all the modules are optimized using **AVX-512** vectorization.
