So glad this is finally out. The method has been instrumental in allowing us to compress the AllTheBacteria data - ~2 million bacterial genomes shrink from 3Terabytes (gzipped) to 100Gb using phylogenetic compression. Great work by @brinda.eu

.@jnalanko.bsky.social and co. led groundbreaking work recently in terms of defining the SBWT & subset rank & select, and developing data structures for these. This new preprint provides reductions to standard rank & select, claiming similar space and 5-7x faster query arxiv.org/abs/2310.19702 🀯🧬πŸ–₯️
