Table 1 Time, space, peak RAM, and peak RAM (aggregate) to construct variant index on the 1000 Genomes and TCGA (OV, LUAD, and BRCA) data using VariantStore and VG toolkit. ^∗VG toolkit could not build GBWT index embedding all sample paths for TCGA data. Space reported is for the XG index that does not contain any path information. We constructed all 24 chromosomes (1–22 and X and Y) in parallel. The time and peak RAM reported is for the biggest chromosome (usually chromosome 1 or 2). The space reported is the total space on disk for all 24 chromosomes. The peak RAM (aggregate) is the aggregate peak RAM for all 24 processes
