Just published an interactive article about a magical algorithm known as the Burrows-Wheeler Transform, which powers sequence alignment tools like bowtie and bwa: sandbox.bio/concepts/bwt

It's also notoriously unintuitive so I'm hoping this article helps you build that intuition.

Excited to announce our first interactive article on sandbox.bio, about genomic ranges: sandbox.bio/concepts/gen...

Move & resize the ranges to see how that affects bedtools operations like merge and intersect in real time!
