Save sketching metadata in the signature name

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Users can select their signature names, and since we are using the sourmash API for loading and saving signatures, we need to keep the original signature unchanged. However, we can add a “-” separator after the user-selected name to process internal data, such as the number of bases or reads in the original sample. This can be accomplished using LZ strings, allowing for the addition of future metadata.
