Existing notions of pangenome coordinates rely on hard-to-compute multiple sequence alignments. On the other hand, pangenome-wide exact unique matches (multi-MUMs) can be computed efficiently, and rep...

Folddisco enables protein structural motif search in million scale databases.

In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the search for low density minimizer schemes. These schemes take a window of $w$ consecutive $k$-mers, and sample one of them: the smallest under ...

Randomness is a powerful tool in the design and analysis of algorithms and data structures for nucleotide sequence data. Nucleotide sequences are not themselves random but are often randomized using hash functions. Despite their widespread use in genomics, there is no comprehensive review of the types of hash functions used and their various applications. In this survey intended for bioinformatic methods developers, we divide hash functions into four categories: scattering hash functions, permutations, minimum perfect hash functions, and locality-sensitive hash functions. For each category, we provide examples of both general-use hash functions that have been applied in nucleotide sequence analysis and hash functions that have been designed specifically for nucleotide sequence analysis. We highlight their salient properties, commonalities, differences, and application areas.

Priority queues are data structures that maintain a dynamic collection of elements and allow inserting new elements and removing the smallest element. The most widely known and used priority queue is ...

NtHash is a popular method for hashing k-mers in bioinformatics, yet it has some surprising flaws. In this post, I walk through a few of them, and show that they can arise naturally, without an advers...
