MinHash Alignment Process (MHAP): a probabilistic sequence overlap algorithm.

Overview

MHAP (pronounced MAP) is a reference implementation of a probabilistic sequence overlapping algorithm. Designed to efficiently detect all overlaps between noisy long-read sequence data. It efficiently estimates Jaccard similarity by compressing sequences to their representative fingerprints composed on min-mers (minimum k-mer).

MHAP is included within the Canu assembler. Canu can be downloaded here.
