Modifications made by ARGenus
-----------------------------
The distributed database was produced FROM PanRes by:
  - indexing the PanRes gene sequences with minimap2 (AMR_PanRes.mmi);
  - building a flanking-sequence database (flanking.fdb) that pairs PanRes gene
    identifiers with genomic flanking regions drawn from public sequence sources
    (e.g. GenBank / PLSDB);
  - adding auxiliary files (plasmid_contigs.txt, contig_species.tsv).
