Efficient space and time multicomparison of genomes

The comparison of genomes is based on substrings, called MUMs, that appear only once in each genome and are maximal. The set of MUMs determines the skeleton from which a global comparison can be established. The search of MUMs is handled with Suffix trees which are those trees that store all suffixe...

Sumario:The comparison of genomes is based on substrings, called MUMs, that appear only once in each genome and are maximal. The set of MUMs determines the skeleton from which a global comparison can be established. The search of MUMs is handled with Suffix trees which are those trees that store all suffixes of a given sequence. The searching algorithm builds a generalized suffixtree for each pair and finds the MUMs between them.
