About the Authors

Veli Mäkinen is Professor of Computer Science at the University of Helsinki, where he leads a research team on genome-scale algorithmics. He has taught advanced courses on algorithm design and analysis, string processing, data compression, and algorithmic genome analysis, as well as introductory courses on bioinformatics.

Djamal Belazzougui is a permanent researcher at the Research Centre for Scientific and Technical Information in Algiers, Algeria. He worked in the Genome-Scale Algorithmics group at the University of Helsinki as a postdoctoral researcher from 2012 to 2015. His research topics include hashing, succinct and compressed data structures, string algorithms, and bioinformatics.

Fabio Cunial is a computational scientist at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. He has served as a postdoctoral researcher at the Genome-Scale Algorithmics group at the University of Helsinki as well as at the Myers lab in Dresden.

Alexandru I. Tomescu is Associate Professor of Algorithmic Bioinformatics at the University of Helsinki, where he leads a research group on graph algorithms and their application to high-throughput sequencing problems. He is the recipient of a Starting Grant from the European Research Council.
