Changelog Entry
To be copied to the draft changelog by merger:
vg simplify -P
option added to perform simplification based on a given set of reference paths. Snarls are "popped" if the maximum path traversal through them is<m
. Larger snarls can be simplified by merging together similar traversals (threshold set with-L
-- similar todeconstruct
). Unlike the priorvg simplify
logic (which remains here unchanged),-P
scales to large graphs and supports non-protobuf input.Description
I wrote this to help visualize MC graphs at chromosome / genome scale in BandageNG.
