Abstract
A method includes receiving, by a processing device, a plurality of genome files. Each genome file corresponds to a different sample and defining a genetic sequence. The method also includes generating, by the processing device, a two-dimensional alignment file based on the genome files and a reference sequence. A first dimension of the alignment file corresponds to individual genetic sequences and each of the genetic sequences is aligned with respect to the reference sequence along a second dimension of the alignment file. The method includes separating, by the processing device, the alignment file into a plurality of groups and storing the groups in a non-transitory genome data store. Each group contains segments of the genetic sequences of two or more of the genomic files.
