Watched a dozen video/articles, finally understand why this algo works now. This video is the best. It explains the reversing part so well!

You got me when you made that 'blubb' at the beginning in order to show how the a is moved to the end hahaha

26:15 why the answer is not row 800 instead of 801? If we are looking for G100, isn't it that we should skip the first 99 rows starting with G instead of 100 rows?

Having taken an interest in BWT yesterday, and working out my own implementation in Pascal, though not understanding all of the theory...this really clarifies a lot of it for me... thanks so much for having this out there for me to watch during this time of Stuck at Homeness.

I believe that this the first video I have seen on youtube with no dislikes ... very well deserved.

[xinking]

thank for sharing ben, you are a good teacher!

[keith_cancel]

Just found this video. Very informative and well done.

Great video. I see how BWT relates to compression, but also how it's a form of encoding. Does anyone know of a comprehensive list of reversible functions that can applied to strings or sequences?

[wenruihuang]

Thanks Ben! Very clear and I now understood everything on the BWT

[alexanderkurz]

Great videos, thank you so much ... one question ... "We have already talked about suffix indexes" refers to which video?

[dragolov]

Brilliant explanation! Thank you very much!

[akashafif]

It's really helpful for me. Thank you so much.

[alexanderkuptsov]

Brilliant instruction, sir, thanks a lot!!

[danywehbe]

Excellent presentation, thank you very much

[BuysDB]

Thanks! It was really clear and helpful to me.

Thank you for this awesome lecture. I assume this BWT is used for exact matching.
Is there a video for inexact matching as well?

[BritchesBumble]

Can you describe how the Burrows-Wheeler-Scott transform (aka Bijective BWT) works?

Excellent presentation. I have one question. The $ is put at the end of the unique sequence. Can it be put at the beginning...I understand that the implementation would have to be changed to account for the positioning of the $. I suppose I am asking is there a particular advantage at putting the $ at the end, rather than another place. For instance, to sort 5' to 3' (assuming the left end is the 5' end) rather than going backwards.

Hi Ben at 20:30 You explain that Last column is sorted by right-context that is why we see same order as in F. But aren't middle columns sorted by right-context? Why for middle columns don't we see the same ranking order as we see for First and Last?
