Efficiently Merging r-indexes

Large sequencing projects, such as GenomeTrakr and MetaSub, are updated frequently (sometimes daily, in the case of GenomeTrakr) with new data. Therefore, it is imperative that any data structure indexing such data supports efficient updates. Toward this goal, Bannai et al. (TCS, 2020) proposed a data structure named dynamic r-index which is suitable for large genome collections and supports incre...
