AbstractPangenomes are growing in number and size, thanks to the prevalence of high-quality long-read assemblies. However, current methods for studying sequence composition and conservation within pangenomes have limitations. Methods based on graph pangenomes require a computationally expensive multiple-alignment step, which can leave out some variation. Indexes based on k-mers and de Bruijn graphs are limited to answering questions at a specific substring length k.

INTRODUCTION The opioid toxicity epidemic in Canada has claimed the lives of tens of thousands of Canadians during the past two decades [1]. From 2017 to 2021 alone, the national rate of apparent opioid-related overdose deaths nearly doubled from 10.7 to 20.7 deaths per 100 000 population [2]. One segment of the population disproportionally impacted by the opioid epidemic are people experiencing homelessness (PEH) [3-6].
