This is an enhancement request: Could you parallelize the construction of dotplots (and add a --threads argument)?
We really appreciate the work that you have done on trycycler (and unicycler, and filtlong, and ...).
Thanks.

Read dotplot.py first and trace how dotplots are constructed and how command-line options are parsed. Define the parallel work around the requested --threads argument, then verify that dotplot construction uses the requested thread count and preserves current output.
