Abstract

In this paper, we present a memory efficient index for storing a large
set of DNA sequencing reads. The index allows us to quickly retrieve
the set of reads containing a certain query k-mer. Instead of the
usual approach of treating each read as a separate string, we take an
advantage of significant overlap between reads and compress the data
by aligning the reads to an approximate superstring constructed
specifically for this purpose in combination with several succint
data structures.
