Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: A maximal match between two genomes is a contiguous non-extendable sub-sequence common in the two genomes. DNA bases mutate very often from the genome of one individual to another. When a mutation occurs in a maximal match, it breaks the maximal match into shorter match segments. The coding cost using these broken segments for reference-based genome compression is much higher than that of using the...
