Abstract

Current search tools for computational biology trade efficiency for precision, losing many relevant matches. We push in the direction of obtaining maximum efficiency from an indexing scheme that does not lose any relevant match. We show that it is feasible to search the human genome efficiently on an average desktop computer.
