• File strucutre

Color space mapping needs 6 files, and base space mapping needs 5 files (only need to use 1 reference genome).

Ue color space as an example, and say we use NCBI36.fa as reference genome:

	Base Space	Color Space
Reference genome	NCBI37-bs.umfa
Word Index	NCBI37-bs.15.5000.umwiwp NCBI37-bs.15.5000.umwihi
Word Hash (Left)	NCBI37-bs.15.5000.umwhl
Word Hash (Right)	NCBI37-bs.15.5000.umwhr

basespace.umfa    => NCBI36.bs.umfa
colorspace.umfa    => NCBI36.cs.umfa
colorspace.umwhr    => NCBI36.cs.12.umwhr
colorspace.umwhl    => NCBI36.cs.12.umwhl
colorspace.umwihi    => NCBI36.cs.12.umwihi
colorspace.umwiwp    => NCBI36.cs.12.umwiwp
