The Memory Required for Mantis Build and Minimum Spanning Tree Compression Phases on Human RNA-Seq Data

Data set	No. of samples	Mantis build memory (GB)	MST build memory (GB)
H. sapiens RNA-seq samples	200	5	8
	500	10	16
	1000	18	29
	2000	25	29
	5000	58	59
	10,000	111	111
BBB	2586	28	29

The overall memory required to construct the full index is the max of the two columns which, for these datasets, is always the MST memory.
