Compression of Multiple k-Mer Sets by Iterative SPSS Decomposition

Abstract
A set of k-mers is used in many bioinformatics tasks, and much work has been done on methods to efficiently represent or compress a single set of k-mers. However, methods for compressing multiple k-mer sets have been less studied in spite of their obvious benefits for researchers and genome-related database maintainers. This paper proposes an algorithm to compress multiple k-mer sets, which works by iteratively splitting SPSS (spectrum-preserving string sets). In experiments with 3292 k-mer sets constructed from E. coli whole-genome sequencing data and 2555 k-mer sets constructed from human RNA-Seq data, the proposed algorithm could reduce the compressed file sizes by 34.7% and 13.2% respectively compared to one of the state-of-the-art colored de Bruijn graph representations. Also, our method used less memory than the colored de Bruijn graph method. This paper also introduces various methods to make the compression algorithm efficient in terms of time and memory, one of which is a parallelizable small-weight SPSS construction algorithm.
