Summary :

A suffix tree is widely adopted for indexing genome sequences. While supporting highly efficient search, the suffix tree has a few shortcomings such as very large size and very long construction time. In this paper, we propose a very fast parallel algorithm to construct a disk-based suffix tree for human genome sequences. Our algorithm constructs a suffix array for part of the suffixes in the human genome sequence and then converts it into a suffix tree very quickly. It outperformed the previous algorithms by Loh et al. and Barsky et al. by up to 2.09 and 3.04 times, respectively.
