  1. Memory requirements for the real biological data sets of Table 1. Shown are the index file size (when applicable) and peak main memory usage as measured by the tool tstime
  2. http://bitbucket.org/gsauthof/tstime, except for Newbler, whose overall memory demand was estimated through the Linux htop tool.
