Temporarily assigning this to @christinaboucher (I think you might have the most familiarity with it currently) - we should make sure that it definitely can't do what we are doing... but I'm pretty sure it can? If you can query presence of kmers, then you can traverse and find outdegree by generating every possible target kmer. This should work with any way of representing a set of kmers and their colours...
/cc @simon-j-puglisi (in case you would like to pick this one up)
Are you saying we should include it in experiments?

My main point is that our decision before (during a skype call, but my memory is imperfect) was to say that their structure doesn't support the required operations. However, their structure does support enough operations, but the effort involved may be non-trivial (although I haven't checked).
So, I'm saying we should decide how to address it:
Well the last point (Mention it, but don't do anything) is certainly the most appealing ;) We should really get to the bottom of it though (and compare if we have necessary go and time).

So, I'm saying we should decide how to address it:
- Ignore it
- Implement the required code to compare them
- Mention it, but say why we didn't compare them (perhaps the effort is non-trivial, but I don't think it is fair to say that they can't do it).

This paper describes a a colored de-Bruijn graph representation for "pan-genome storage".
@christinaboucher said they can't handle the application we are considering. It might be worth saying that in the paper? Or we can just leave it out.
