Abstract
In accordance with embodiments, a computing device of a processing system performs a seed search of a short read (SR) against a reference sequence using a Burrows Wheeler Transform (BWT) algorithm to determine a seed. During the seed search one or more seed candidates in the reference sequence are determined. If the number of matches is less than or equal to a predefined threshold value the seed search using the BWT algorithm is stopped. Each seed candidate is extended to a respective extended seed candidate equal in length to the SR. bp-to-bp comparisons are performed between a remaining bp sequence of the SR after the matching bp and a corresponding remaining bp sequence in each extended seed candidate. An extended seed candidate that exactly matches the SR in the bp-to-bp comparisons is outputted as the seed.
