Fig. 6From: MQF and buffered MQF: quotient filters for efficient storage of k-mers with their counts and metadataMerging MQFs with external labels. Ri is the remaining part of item i, and Ti is the external label of the item. Merging the input MQF produces a final MQF with a new order of its member items. All labels in the input external arrays are copied into a new external array according to this new order of the items. However, the implementation of the merge function has to resolve the conflict of R3 labels which exist in both input structures with two labelsBack to article page
