Modifications made by ARGenus
-----------------------------
The distributed database was produced FROM PanRes by:
- building a flanking-sequence database (flanking_1kbp.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).
