Fig. 1From: Reference-free compression of high throughput sequencing data with a probabilistic de Bruijn graphLEON method overview. First, a de Bruijn Graph is constructed from the reads: kmers are counted, then abundant enough kmers are inserted into a bloom filter representing a probabilistic de Bruijn Graph. Reads are then mapped to this graph, and the necessary information required to rebuild the reads from the graph is stored in the compressed file: an anchoring kmer and a list of bifurcationsBack to article page
