Ultrafast Comparison of Personal Genomes via Precomputed Genome Fingerprints

We present an ultrafast method for comparing personal genomes. We transform the standard genome representation (lists of variants relative to a reference) into “genome fingerprints” via locality sensitive hashing. The resulting genome fingerprints can be meaningfully compared even when the input dat...
