mm_idx_str-like interface

Question

mm_idx_str-like interface

1dayac opened this issue 4 years ago · 1 comments

Hello Heng,

Unimap seems like a very useful tool!
Is it possible to provide a mm_idx_str - like interface for index construction in unimap? (that takes "const char **seq" instead of path to the reference file)

Thank you!

Unfortunately, the current internal structure of unimap can only build an index from an input file, not from strings. It is non-trivial to create a mm_idx_str like interface. I may consider to bring the feature back when unimap becomes more stable.
