Mumemto: efficient maximal matching across pangenomes
摘要
Aligning genomes into common coordinates is central to pangenome construction, though computationally expensive. Multi-sequence maximal unique matches (multi-MUMs) help to frame and solve the multiple alignment problem. We introduce Mumemto, a tool that computes multi-MUMs and other match types across large pangenomes. Mumemto allows for visualization of synteny, reveals aberrant assemblies and scaffolds, and highlights pangenome conservation and structural variation. Mumemto computes multi-MUMs across 320 human assemblies (960GB) in 25.7 h with 800 GB of memory and hundreds of fungal assemblies in minutes. Mumemto is implemented in C++ and Python and available open-source at https://github.com/vikshiv/mumemto (v1.1.1 at
