Analysis of genomic rearrangements by using the Burrows-Wheeler transform of short-read data.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The potential utility of the Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT) of a large amount of short-read data ("reads") has not been fully studied. The BWT basically serves as a lossless dictionary of reads, unlike the heuristic and lossy reads-to-genome mapping results conventionally obtained in the first step of sequence analysis. Thus, it is naturally expected to lead to development of sensitive methods for...
