In this episode, Markus Schmidt explains how seeding in read alignment works. We define and compare k-mers, minimizers, MEMs, SMEMs, and maximal spanning seeds. Markus also presents his recent work on computing variable-sized seeds (MEMs, SMEMs, and maximal spanning seeds) from fixed-sized seeds (k-mers and minimizers) and his Modular Aligner.

MA the Modular Aligner
Calibrating Seed-Based Heuristics to Map Short Reads With Sesame (Guillaume J. Filion, Ruggero Cortini, Eduard Zorita) — another interesting recent work on seeding methods (though we didn’t get to discuss it in this episode)
