Can vg take MUMmer output as input?

Question

[ac2278]

I have a MUMmer delta file. What commands do I run to import this file into vg for genome graph construction and indexing?

Always mention what you've tried and where exactly you run into a problem.

I think what he/she mean is whether we can use the output delta file of MUMmer (the whole-genome alignment of several de novo assemblies) like the Cactus for building the pangenome graph? I have the same question since there is hal2vg script in the cactus website while we do not know how to transfer the output of mummer to vg input. Thanks
