Question for the rust-bio folks: any recommendations on a dynamic de-bruijn graph crate?

I found some DBG crates but they seem to be A) unmaintained and/or B) not for dynamic applications.

Finally got around to fixing the main limitation of the current vcfdist release: exploding memory usage and runtime in regions with high-density variants. A new `--max-supercluster-size` parameter limits this. Release v2.6.0 is out on [Github](github.com/timd1/vcfdist), DockerHub, and bioconda!

🧪🚨 NSF's Directorate for STEM Education (EDU) has halted making nearly all new awards since inauguration day.

Among *many* other things, EDU runs the Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP).

We need to protect the education & training of the next gen of scientists #StandUpForScience

Another assault on US competitiveness at a time when biomedicine is roaring with innovation, an own-goal in a high-stakes international tournament. Of course the real losers are American people needing medicines and cures.

'Almost all of these actions are illegal, and many are actually unconstitutional. The administration is obviously daring someone to try to stop them, and as mentioned in Part Six below, right now that's the Federal Judiciary.'
