Hi @tillbaar,
The optional field "DA" stands for "Data Access": It is used by Bifrost to associate unitigs to their color classes when reading a colored de Bruijn from disk. Hence, it is only output if a colored de Bruijn graph is created.
Thank you for your kind words, let me know if you have any questions or suggestions about Bifrost.

In the GFA output, all segments carry an optional field with the tag DA of type Z (printable string incl. whitespace). What is the meaning of this field? At least in the output files I generated so far, this field always contained an integer >0.
I hope I didn't just overlook the explanation somewhere in the documentation. Also, I am blown away by how fast Bifrost is. Awesome work!
Thanks, Till
