Abstract

The post-doctoral project conducted by the candidate deals with algorithms to compute the Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT), and investigate string similarity measures based on the BWT. Recently, Egidi, Louza, Manzini and Telles [7] introduced an external memory algorithm to compute the BWT together with the LCP array for a string collection, and showed how to output the document array (DA). The authors also suggested a simple, scan based, external memory algorithm based on the BWT and DA to construct de Bruijn graphs in a succinct representation. The objective of this internship project is to implement the computation of DA together with the BWT, and present a practical external memory algorithm to compute succinct de Bruijn graphs for large string collections.
