We describe an algorithm to find maximal exact matches (MEMs) among HiFi reads with homopolymer errors. The main novelty in our work is that we resort to run-length compression to help deal with errors. Our method receives as input a…

The move structure represents permutations with long contiguously permuted intervals in compressed space with optimal query time. They have become an important feature of compressed text indexes using space proportional to the number of…

A parameterized string (p-string) is a string over an alphabet $(\Sigma_{s} \cup \Sigma_{p})$, where $\Sigma_{s}$ and $\Sigma_{p}$ are disjoint alphabets for static symbols (s-symbols) and for parameter symbols (p-symbols), respectively.…

A \itbf{cover} of a string $x = x[1..n]$ is a proper substring $u$ of $x$ such that $x$ can be constructed from possibly overlapping instances of $u$. A recent paper \cite{FIKPPST13} relaxes this definition --- an \itbf{enhanced cover} $u$…
