Fractional Hitting Sets for Efficient and Lightweight Genomic Data Sketching

Authors: Timothé Rouzé, Igor Martayan, Camille Marchet, and Antoine Limasset

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 273, 23rd International Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics (WABI 2023)


Abstract
The exponential increase in publicly available sequencing data and genomic resources necessitates the development of highly efficient methods for data processing and analysis. Locality-sensitive hashing techniques have successfully transformed large datasets into smaller, more manageable sketches while maintaining comparability using metrics such as Jaccard and containment indices. However, fixed-size sketches encounter difficulties when applied to divergent datasets. Scalable sketching methods, such as Sourmash, provide valuable solutions but still lack resource-efficient, tailored indexing. Our objective is to create lighter sketches with comparable results while enhancing efficiency. We introduce the concept of Fractional Hitting Sets, a generalization of Universal Hitting Sets, which uniformly cover a specified fraction of the k-mer space. In theory and practice, we demonstrate the feasibility of achieving such coverage with simple but highly efficient schemes. By encoding the covered k-mers as super-k-mers, we provide a space-efficient exact representation that also enables optimized comparisons. Our novel tool, SuperSampler, implements this scheme, and experimental results with real bacterial collections closely match our theoretical findings. In comparison to Sourmash, SuperSampler achieves similar outcomes while utilizing an order of magnitude less space and memory and operating several times faster. This highlights the potential of our approach in addressing the challenges presented by the ever-expanding landscape of genomic data.

Toward Optimal Fingerprint Indexing for Large Scale Genomics

Authors: Clément Agret, Bastien Cazaux, and Antoine Limasset

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 242, 22nd International Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics (WABI 2022)


Abstract
Motivation. To keep up with the scale of genomic databases, several methods rely on local sensitive hashing methods to efficiently find potential matches within large genome collections. Existing solutions rely on Minhash or Hyperloglog fingerprints and require reading the whole index to perform a query. Such solutions can not be considered scalable with the growing amount of documents to index. Results. We present NIQKI, a novel structure with well-designed fingerprints that lead to theoretical and practical query time improvements, outperforming state-of-the-art by orders of magnitude. Our contribution is threefold. First, we generalize the concept of Hyperminhash fingerprints in (h,m)-HMH fingerprints that can be tuned to present the lowest false positive rate given the expected sub-sampling applied. Second, we provide a structure able to index any kind of fingerprints based on inverted indexes that provide optimal queries, namely linear with the size of the output. Third, we implemented these approaches in a tool dubbed NIQKI that can index and calculate pairwise distances for over one million bacterial genomes from GenBank in a few days on a small cluster. We show that our approach can be orders of magnitude faster than state-of-the-art with comparable precision. We believe this approach can lead to tremendous improvements, allowing fast queries and scaling on extensive genomic databases.

Fast and Scalable Minimal Perfect Hashing for Massive Key Sets

Authors: Antoine Limasset, Guillaume Rizk, Rayan Chikhi, and Pierre Peterlongo

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 75, 16th International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms (SEA 2017)


Abstract
Minimal perfect hash functions provide space-efficient and collision-free hashing on static sets. Existing algorithms and implementations that build such functions have practical limitations on the number of input elements they can process, due to high construction time, RAM or external memory usage. We revisit a simple algorithm and show that it is highly competitive with the state of the art, especially in terms of construction time and memory usage. We provide a parallel C++ implementation called BBhash. It is capable of creating a minimal perfect hash function of 10^{10} elements in less than 7 minutes using 8 threads and 5 GB of memory, and the resulting function uses 3.7 bits/element. To the best of our knowledge, this is also the first implementation that has been successfully tested on an input of cardinality 10^{12}. Source code: https://github.com/rizkg/BBHash
