Abstract
The invention provides methods for analyzing sequence data in which a large amount and variety of reference data are efficiently modeled as a reference graph, such as a directed acyclic graph (DAG). The method includes determining positions of k-mers within a reference graph that represents a genomic sequence and known variation, storing the positions of each k-mer in a table entry indexed by a hash of that k-mer, and identifying a region within the reference graph that includes a threshold number of the k-mers by reading from the table entries indexed by hashes of substrings of a subject sequence. The subject sequence may subsequently be mapped to the candidate region.
