In view of ultra-large amounts of genome sequence data emerging from rapidly advancing genome sequencing devices the driving, urgent question is: How can we arrange and analyze these data masses in a formally rigorous, computationally efficient and biomedically rewarding manner?
Graph based data structures have been pointed out to have disruptive benefits over traditional sequence based structures when representing pan-genomes. This paradigm shift from sequences to graphs requires to make substantial advances in terms of algorithms and data structures.
