Table 1 Indexing time and peak memory of indexing for aligners using one thread. Strobealign’s indexing time and memory depends on the syncmer density used. ¹ When using syncmer density 1/5 (50-300nt datasets). ²When using syncmer density 1/7 (500nt datasets). ³SNAP could not index the rye genome (Additional file 1: Note. C).\(^4\)AccelAlign does not have a singe thread mode for indexing. Multithreaded results are displayed on a node with 20 cores. We observed it used 300–700% CPU during indexing. Boldfaced values indicate the most desirable time and memory usage for each dataset
