Storylines with a Protagonist

Authors: Tim Hegemann and Alexander Wolff

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 320, 32nd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2024)

Abstract
Storyline visualizations show interactions between a given set of characters over time. Each character is represented by an x-monotone curve. A meeting is represented by a vertical bar that is crossed by the curves of exactly those characters that participate in the meeting. Therefore, character curves may have to cross each other. In the context of publication networks, we consider storylines where the characters are authors and the meetings are joint publications. We are especially interested in visualizing a group of colleagues centered around an author, the protagonist, who participates in all selected publications. For such instances, we propose a drawing style where the protagonist’s curve is drawn at a prominent position and never crossed by any other author’s curve. We consider two variants of storylines with a protagonist. In the one-sided variant, the protagonist is required to be drawn at the top position. In this restricted setting, we can efficiently compute a drawing with the minimum number of pairwise crossings, whereas we show that it is NP-hard to minimize the number of block crossings (i.e., pairs of blocks of parallel curves that intersect each other). In the two-sided variant, the task is to split the set of co-authors of the protagonist into two groups, and to place the curves of one group above and the curves of the other group below the protagonist’s curve such that the total number of (block) crossings is minimized. As our main result, we present an algorithm for bundling a sequence of pairwise crossings into a sequence of few block crossings (in the absence of meetings). It exploits a connection to a rectangle dissection problem. In the presence of meetings, it yields results that are very close to a lower bound. Based on this bundling algorithm and our exact algorithm for the one-sided variant, we present a new heuristic for computing two-sided storylines with few block crossings. We perform an extensive experimental study using publication data of 81 protagonists from GD 2023 and their most frequent collaborators over the last ten years. Our study shows that, for two-sided storylines with a protagonist, our new heuristic uses fewer block crossings (and fewer pairwise crossings) than two heuristics for block crossing minimization in general storylines.

A Textbook Solution for Dynamic Strings

Authors: Zsuzsanna Lipták, Francesco Masillo, and Gonzalo Navarro

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 308, 32nd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2024)

Abstract
We consider the problem of maintaining a collection of strings while efficiently supporting splits and concatenations on them, as well as comparing two substrings, and computing the longest common prefix between two suffixes. This problem can be solved in optimal time O(log N) whp for the updates and O(1) worst-case time for the queries, where N is the total collection size [Gawrychowski et al., SODA 2018]. We present here a much simpler solution based on a forest of enhanced splay trees (FeST), where both the updates and the substring comparison take O(log n) amortized time, n being the lengths of the strings involved. The longest common prefix of length 𝓁 is computed in O(log n + log²𝓁) amortized time. Our query results are correct whp. Our simpler solution enables other more general updates in O(log n) amortized time, such as reversing a substring and/or mapping its symbols. We can also regard substrings as circular or as their omega extension.

PLA-index: A k-mer Index Exploiting Rank Curve Linearity

Authors: Md. Hasin Abrar and Paul Medvedev

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 312, 24th International Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics (WABI 2024)

Abstract
Given a sorted list of k-mers S, the rank curve of S is the function mapping a k-mer from the k-mer universe to the location in S where it either first appears or would be inserted. An exciting recent development is the observation that, for certain datasets, the rank curve is predictable and can be exploited to create small search indices. In this paper, we develop a novel search index that first estimates a k-mer’s rank using a piece-wise linear approximation of the rank curve and then does a local search to determine the precise location of the k-mer in the list. We combine ideas from previous approaches and supplement them with an innovative data representation strategy that substantially reduces space usage. Our PLA-index uses an order of magnitude less space than Sapling and uses less than half the space of the PGM-index, for roughly the same query time. For example, using only 9 MiB of memory, it can narrow down the position of k-mer in the suffix array of the human genome to within 255 positions. Furthermore, we demonstrate the potential of our approach to impact a variety of downstream applications. First, the PLA-index halves the time of binary search on the suffix array of the human genome. Second, the PLA-index reduces the space of a direct-access lookup table by 76 percent, without increasing the run time. Third, we plug the PLA-index into a state-of-the-art read aligner Strobealign and replace a 2 GiB component with a PLA-index of size 1.5 MiB, without significantly effecting runtime.

A*PA2: Up to 19× Faster Exact Global Alignment

Authors: Ragnar Groot Koerkamp

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 312, 24th International Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics (WABI 2024)

Abstract
Motivation. Pairwise alignment is at the core of computational biology. Most commonly used exact methods are either based on O(ns) band doubling or O(n+s²) diagonal transition, where n is the sequence length and s the number of errors. However, as the length of sequences has grown, these exact methods are often replaced by approximate methods based on e.g. seed-and-extend and heuristics to bound the computed region. We would like to develop an exact method that matches the performance of these approximate methods. Recently, Astarix introduced the A* shortest path algorithm with the seed heuristic for exact sequence-to-graph alignment. A*PA adapted and improved this for pairwise sequence alignment and achieves near-linear runtime when divergence (error rate) is low, at the cost of being very slow when divergence is high. Methods. We introduce A*PA2, an exact global pairwise aligner with respect to edit distance. The goal of A*PA2 is to unify the near-linear runtime of A*PA on similar sequences with the efficiency of dynamic programming (DP) based methods. Like Edlib, A*PA2 uses Ukkonen’s band doubling in combination with Myers' bitpacking. A*PA2 1) uses large block sizes inspired by Block Aligner, 2) extends this with SIMD (single instruction, multiple data), 3) introduces a new profile for efficient computations, 4) introduces a new optimistic technique for traceback based on diagonal transition, 5) avoids recomputation of states where possible, and 6) applies the heuristics developed in A*PA and improves them using pre-pruning. Results. With the first 4 engineering optimizations, A*PA2-simple has complexity O(ns) and is 6× to 8× faster than Edlib for sequences ≥ 10 kbp. A*PA2-full also includes the heuristic and is often near-linear in practice for sequences with small divergence. The average runtime of A*PA2 is 19× faster than the exact aligners BiWFA and Edlib on >500 kbp long ONT (Oxford Nanopore Technologies) reads of a human genome having 6% divergence on average. On shorter ONT reads of 11% average divergence the speedup is 5.6× (avg. length 11 kbp) and 0.81× (avg. length 800 bp). On all tested datasets, A*PA2 is competitive with or faster than approximate methods.

Taxonomic Classification with Maximal Exact Matches in KATKA Kernels and Minimizer Digests

Authors: Dominika Draesslerová, Omar Ahmed, Travis Gagie, Jan Holub, Ben Langmead, Giovanni Manzini, and Gonzalo Navarro

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 301, 22nd International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms (SEA 2024)

Abstract
For taxonomic classification, we are asked to index the genomes in a phylogenetic tree such that later, given a DNA read, we can quickly choose a small subtree likely to contain the genome from which that read was drawn. Although popular classifiers such as Kraken use k-mers, recent research indicates that using maximal exact matches (MEMs) can lead to better classifications. For example, we can - build an augmented FM-index over the the genomes in the tree concatenated in left-to-right order; - for each MEM in a read, find the interval in the suffix array containing the starting positions of that MEM’s occurrences in those genomes; - find the minimum and maximum values stored in that interval; - take the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of the genomes containing the characters at those positions. This solution is practical, however, only when the total size of the genomes in the tree is fairly small. In this paper we consider applying the same solution to three lossily compressed representations of the genomes' concatenation: - a KATKA kernel, which discards characters that are not in the first or last occurrence of any k_max-tuple, for a parameter k_max; - a minimizer digest; - a KATKA kernel of a minimizer digest. With a test dataset and these three representations of it, simulated reads and various parameter settings, we checked how many reads' longest MEMs occurred only in the sequences from which those reads were generated ("true positive" reads). For some parameter settings we achieved significant compression while only slightly decreasing the true-positive rate.

BAT-LZ out of hell

Authors: Zsuzsanna Lipták, Francesco Masillo, and Gonzalo Navarro

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 296, 35th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2024)

Abstract
Despite consistently yielding the best compression on repetitive text collections, the Lempel-Ziv parsing has resisted all attempts at offering relevant guarantees on the cost to access an arbitrary symbol. This makes it less attractive for use on compressed self-indexes and other compressed data structures. In this paper we introduce a variant we call BAT-LZ (for Bounded Access Time Lempel-Ziv) where the access cost is bounded by a parameter given at compression time. We design and implement a linear-space algorithm that, in time O(nlog³ n), obtains a BAT-LZ parse of a text of length n by greedily maximizing each next phrase length. The algorithm builds on a new linear-space data structure that solves 5-sided orthogonal range queries in rank space, allowing updates to the coordinate where the one-sided queries are supported, in O(log³ n) time for both queries and updates. This time can be reduced to O(log² n) if O(nlog n) space is used. We design a second algorithm that chooses the sources for the phrases in a clever way, using an enhanced suffix tree, albeit no longer guaranteeing longest possible phrases. This algorithm is much slower in theory, but in practice it is comparable to the greedy parser, while achieving significantly superior compression. We then combine the two algorithms, resulting in a parser that always chooses the longest possible phrases, and the best sources for those. Our experimentation shows that, on most repetitive texts, our algorithms reach an access cost close to log₂ n on texts of length n, while incurring almost no loss in the compression ratio when compared with classical LZ-compression. Several open challenges are discussed at the end of the paper.

Solving the Minimal Positional Substring Cover Problem in Sublinear Space

Authors: Paola Bonizzoni, Christina Boucher, Davide Cozzi, Travis Gagie, and Yuri Pirola

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 296, 35th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2024)

Abstract
Within the field of haplotype analysis, the Positional Burrows-Wheeler Transform (PBWT) stands out as a key innovation, addressing numerous challenges in genomics. For example, Sanaullah et al. introduced a PBWT-based method that addresses the haplotype threading problem, which involves representing a query haplotype through a minimal set of substrings. To solve this problem using the PBWT data structure, they formulate the Minimal Positional Substring Cover (MPSC) problem, and then, subsequently present a solution for it. Additionally, they present and solve several variants of this problem: k-MPSC, leftmost MPSC, rightmost MPSC, and length-maximal MPSC. Yet, a full PBWT is required for each of their solutions, which yields a significant memory usage requirement. Here, we take advantage of the latest results on run-length encoding the PBWT, to solve the MPSC in a sublinear amount of space. Our methods involve demonstrating that k-Set Maximal Exact Matches (k-SMEMs) can be computed in a sublinear amount of space via efficient computation of k-Matching Statistics (k-MS). This leads to a solution that requires sublinear space for, not only the MPSC problem, but for all its variations proposed by Sanaullah et al. Most importantly, we present experimental results on haplotype panels from the 1000 Genomes Project data that show the utility of these theoretical results. We conclusively demonstrate that our approach markedly decreases the memory required to solve the MPSC problem, achieving a reduction of at least two orders of magnitude compared to the method proposed by Sanaullah et al. This efficiency allows us to solve the problem on large versions of the problem, where other methods are unable to scale to. In summary, the creation of {μ}-PBWT paves the way for new possibilities in conducting in-depth genetic research and analysis on a large scale.

Trie-Compressed Adaptive Set Intersection

Authors: Diego Arroyuelo and Juan Pablo Castillo

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 259, 34th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2023)

Abstract
We introduce space- and time-efficient algorithms and data structures for the offline set intersection problem. We show that a sorted integer set S ⊆ [0..u) of n elements can be represented using compressed space while supporting k-way intersections in adaptive O(kδlg(u/δ)) time, δ being the alternation measure introduced by Barbay and Kenyon. Our experimental results suggest that our approaches are competitive in practice, outperforming the most efficient alternatives (Partitioned Elias-Fano indexes, Roaring Bitmaps, and Recursive Universe Partitioning (RUP)) in several scenarios, offering in general relevant space-time trade-offs.

Merging Sorted Lists of Similar Strings

Authors: Gene Myers

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 259, 34th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2023)

Abstract
Merging T sorted, non-redundant lists containing M elements into a single sorted, non-redundant result of size N ≥ M/T is a classic problem typically solved practically in O(M log T) time with a priority-queue data structure the most basic of which is the simple heap. We revisit this problem in the situation where the list elements are strings and the lists contain many identical or nearly identical elements. By keeping simple auxiliary information with each heap node, we devise an O(M log T+S) worst-case method that performs no more character comparisons than the sum of the lengths of all the strings S, and another O(M log (T/e¯)+S) method that becomes progressively more efficient as a function of the fraction of equal elements e¯ = M/N between input lists, reaching linear time when the lists are all identical. The methods perform favorably in practice versus an alternate formulation based on a trie.

Computing MEMs on Repetitive Text Collections

Authors: Gonzalo Navarro

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 259, 34th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2023)

Abstract
We consider the problem of computing the Maximal Exact Matches (MEMs) of a given pattern P[1..m] on a large repetitive text collection T[1..n], which is represented as a (hopefully much smaller) run-length context-free grammar of size g_{rl}. We show that the problem can be solved in time O(m² log^ε n), for any constant ε > 0, on a data structure of size O(g_{rl}). Further, on a locally consistent grammar of size O(δ log n/δ), the time decreases to O(m log m(log m + log^ε n)). The value δ is a function of the substring complexity of T and Ω(δ log n/δ) is a tight lower bound on the compressibility of repetitive texts T, so our structure has optimal size in terms of n and δ.

L-Systems for Measuring Repetitiveness

Authors: Gonzalo Navarro and Cristian Urbina

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 259, 34th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2023)

Abstract
In order to use them for compression, we extend L-systems (without ε-rules) with two parameters d and n, and also a coding τ, which determines unambiguously a string w = τ(φ^d(s))[1:n], where φ is the morphism of the system, and s is its axiom. The length of the shortest description of an L-system generating w is known as 𝓁, and it is arguably a relevant measure of repetitiveness that builds on the self-similarities that arise in the sequence. In this paper, we deepen the study of the measure 𝓁 and its relation with a better-established measure called δ, which builds on substring complexity. Our results show that 𝓁 and δ are largely orthogonal, in the sense that one can be much larger than the other, depending on the case. This suggests that both mechanisms capture different kinds of regularities related to repetitiveness. We then show that the recently introduced NU-systems, which combine the capabilities of L-systems with bidirectional macro schemes, can be asymptotically strictly smaller than both mechanisms for the same fixed string family, which makes the size ν of the smallest NU-system the unique smallest reachable repetitiveness measure to date. We conclude that in order to achieve better compression, we should combine morphism substitution with copy-paste mechanisms.

Compact Data Structures Meet Databases (Invited Talk)

Authors: Gonzalo Navarro

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 255, 26th International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT 2023)

Abstract
We describe two success stories on the application of compact data structures (cds) to solve the problem of the excessively redundant space requirements posed by worst-case-optimal (wco) algorithms for multijoins in databases, and particularly basic graph patterns on graph databases. The aim of cds is to represent the data and additional data structures on it, using total space close to that of the plain (and, sometimes, compressed) data, while efficiently simulating the data structure operations. Cds turn out to be a perfect approach for the described problem: We designed and implemented cds that effectively use space close to that of the plain or compressed data, which is orders of magnitude less than existing systems, while retaining worst-case optimality and performing competitively with those systems in query time, sometimes being even considerably faster.
