A natural encoding of genetic variation in a Burrows-Wheeler Transform to enable mapping and genome inference

<p>We show how positional markers can be used to encode genetic variation within a Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT), and use this to construct a generalisation of the traditional "reference genome", incorporating known variation within a species. Our goal is to support the inference o...
