  1. The vg index includes variants with allele frequency ≥ 10% in the 1000-Genomes Project GRCh38 call set. The RandFlow-LD indexes include the indexes for liftover and Bowtie 2 indexes for the global major-allele reference as well as second-pass population references. CPU time is compared to a baseline run of Bowtie 2 to the GRCh38 primary assembly
