Seqhash is a simple algorithm that allows for much better indexing of genetic sequences than what is | ||
currently available. | ||
# Seqhash version 2 | ||
|
||
Version 1 seqhashes are rather long, and version 2 seqhashes are built to be | ||
much shorter. The intended use case are for handling sequences with LLM systems | ||
since these system's context window is a value resource, and smaller references | ||
allows the system to be more focused. Seqhash version 2 are approximately 3x | ||
smaller than version 1 seqhashes. Officially, they are [16]byte arrays, but can | ||
be also encoded with base64 to get a hash that can be used as a string across | ||
different systems. Here is a length comparison: | ||
|
||
version 1: v1_DLD_f4028f93e08c5c23cbb8daa189b0a9802b378f1a1c919dcbcf1608a615f46350 | ||
version 2: C_JPQCj5PgjFwjy7jaoYmwqQ== | ||
|
||
The metadata is now encoded in a 1 byte flag rather than a metadata string, | ||
instead of 7 rune like in version 1. Rather than use 256 bits for encoding | ||
the hash, we use 120 bits. Since seqhashes are not meant for security, this | ||
is good enough (50% collision with 1.3x10^18 hashes), while making them | ||
conveniently only 16 btyes long. Additionally, encoded prefixes are added | ||
to the front of the base64 encoded hash as a heuristic device for LLMs while | ||
processing batches of seqhashes. | ||
|
||
In addition, seqhashes can now encode fragments. Fragments are double stranded | ||
DNA that are the result of restriction digestion, with single stranded | ||
overhangs flanking both sides. These fragments can encode genetic parts - and | ||
an important part of any vector containing these parts would be the part | ||
seqhash, rather than the vector seqhash. This enhancement allows you to | ||
identify genetic parts irregardless of their context. | ||
