pgLM-class: Class for reference based pangenome data
Description
This class handles pangenome information where gene sequences are kept on
disc instead of stored in memory. As long as the original fasta files are
not modified, this class will take care of indexing the genes correctly. This
class has a substantially lower memory footprint than the
pgFull
class at the expense of longer sequence lookup
times. For massive pangenomes containing Gb of sequence data there is no
alternative though.
