    @res is in the order of 10^5-10^6. Each result "object" is just a small hash with just a few fields in it.

    Now that I think about it again, I might want to add an extra level to my AoA - each nucleotide could have multiple (10^3) different list of experiments, not only one set. The reason is we also simulate "random experimental results" so we will actually have multiple @res arrays.

      And is 200 an upper limit to the number of indices for one nucleotide for one experiment?

        That's correct, although it's not so strict (there is some distribution of the number of results we have, it could be a bit higher).
