Compact Data Structures have become essential in bioinformatics to deal with large scale genomics data.
In this course we
* introduce the participants to basic concepts and problems in the field
* exemplify how to think about representing your data compactly
* give some small hands-on examples of the usual time/space tradeoffs when working with implementations (on the second day)
Prerequisites: No fear of computers. Basic C/C++ knowledge. Basic algorithm knowledge.
We will most likely use the SDSL library (https://github.com/simongog/sdsl-lite)
