Hello I’m Njagi Mwaniki,
I am part of the 2019 Google Summer of Code under the Open
Bioinformatics Foundation with a project aimed to add variation graph
support to BioD under mentors George Githinji and Pjotr Prins.

VG is a set of tools that already implements variation graphs but which
is a bit broad in its focus. In this project we are building upon the
existing tools and knowledge from VG and looking for ways to improve its
performance in terms of lookups and also its application with small
genomes, specifically viruses and smaller mammals such as mice.
This sounds like a great project. Be aware that the size of the
organism (e.g. mouse) has naught to do with the size of its genome.
