Question

What is the Burrows-Wheeler transform of the string "abbaba$"?

Expert Solution
Step 1

A data transformation method called the Burrows Wheeler Transformation rearranges data such that the changed message may be compressed more efficiently. It is, technically speaking, a linguistic bidirectional rotation of a string of letters. The Burrows-Wheeler Data Compression technique, which serves as the foundation for the Unix compression tool bzip2, consists of three phases that must be implemented sequentially.

The most significant use of BWT is in the biomedical sciences because genetic code strings written in the A, C, T, and G alphabets—have more repetitions than runs. The BWT's goal is to create an array whose columns tend to include lengthy runs of identical characters and whose cells are all cyclical shifts of the input text in lexical order. The advantage of this is that the characters now essentially have an ordering and can be compressed more efficiently by other methods like run-length encoding and Huffman Coding. The astonishing feature about BWT is how little data overhead there is for reversing this specific transformation.
