A sequence of length N produces N suffix strings which are sorted in the suffix array data structure as shown with this 11 bp sequence and its corresponding suffix array. Each suffix string does not have to be stored separately, instead character positions or offsets are used to reference back to the original sequence; the offsets are the numbers to the right of each suffix.Back to article page
