  Description     : GFA compression tool based on 2-mer reordering
 GFAz compresses Graphical Fragment Assembly (GFA) files by reordering
 segments and encoding paths with a learned grammar on top of Zstandard.
 In the upstream benchmarks it reaches up to 20x higher compression ratio
 than gzip and 13x higher than Zstandard.
 .
 Besides compression, the tool computes pangenome statistics (growth
 curves, PAV, similarity, depth, deconstruction) directly on the
 compressed container without decompressing to GFA.
 .
 This package contains the gfaz command line tool.
