Title
Lightweight BWT and LCP Merging via the Gap Algorithm.
Abstract
Recently, Holt and McMillan [Bioinformatics 2014, ACM-BCB 2014] have proposed a simple and elegant algorithm to merge the Burrows-Wheeler transforms of a collection of strings. In this paper we show that their algorithm can be improved so that, in addition to the BWTs, it also merges the Longest Common Prefix (LCP) arrays. Because of its small memory footprint this new algorithm can be used for the final merge of BWT and LCP arrays computed by a faster but memory intensive construction algorithm.
