SPRING2021_project
Homework #3
Due March 17th, 11:59pm
Each homework submission must include:
• An archive (.zip or .gz) file of the source code containing:
o The makefile used to compile the code on Monsoon (5pts)
o All .cpp and .h files (5pts)
o A readme.txt file outlining all modules (if any) needed for the execution of the code and the
exact command lines needed to answer homework’s questions (5pts)
• A full write-up ( of ) file containing answers to homework’s questions (5pts) – screenshots of
code output are ok.
The source code must follow the following guidelines:
• No external libraries that implement data structures discussed in class are allowed, unless
specifically stated as part of the problem definition. Standard input/output and utilities libraries
(e.g. math.h and time.h) are ok.
• All external data sources (e.g. input data) must be passed in as a command line argument (no
hardcoded paths within the source code.
• As appropriate, solutions to sub-problems must be executable separately from each other. For
example, via a special flag passed as command line argument (5pts)
• For this homework, you will use the High Throughput
Sequence reads dataset located on Monsoon:
/common/contrib/classroom/inf503/hw3_dataset.fa (see
insert). Note that the header (line with “>” at the beginning)
is in a format that is different from HW#1 and HW#2. For this
assignment it will be safe to discard all headers.
• You will also need to use the genome sequence for Bacillus
anthracis bacterium (same as HW#2) located at:
/common/contrib/classroom/inf503/test_genome.fasta
o This genome file contains a header (denoted by ‘>’)
followed by ~5.2 million characters of its genomic code
(alphabet A, C, G, T)
o Please be aware that the genome is spread across
multiple lines of the file
Safe assumptions:
• All sequence fragments in the read set are exactly 16 characters long and that the alphabet is
strictly {A, C, G, T} (no N’s). This has impact on your radix calculations
• The genome sequence has no N’s. This simplifies your search function.
Problem #1 (of 2): Fun with direct access arrays
Create a class called FASTAreadset_DA. The purpose of the class will be to contain a FASTA read set
(similar to homeworks #1 and #2) and all of the functions needed to operate on this set. Use the direct
access hash table data-structure to store the genomic sequences of the given read dataset (hint: use an
array of Boolean values – bool[] for your hash table). You will need to read in the genomic sequence
fragments (feel free to ignore / discard all headers), covert them to a radix notation number (hint: try
using an unsigned int to store the radix value), and flip the proper Boolean in the hash array to TRUE. If
the Boolean is already “ON” (i.e. you are seeing a duplicate fragment), you’ll need to record this ‘collision’.
At minimum, the class must contain:
• A constructor
• A destructor
• A function to search the hash table for a given 16-mer sequence
• A function to insert a given 16-mer sequence into the hash table
• Private variables to store the total # of collisions and # of elements stored in the array
A. Getting started: read in the read data set into your data structure
• What is the size of your hash table?
• How many collisions did you observe?
• How many unique sequences did you observe (number of “ON” Boolean values)?
• What is the load (αT) in your hash table?
B. Search time in direct access arrays: read in the genome sequence provided above, iterate through
all 16-mers found in the genome, and use them to query the read set (similar to what you did in
HW#2, problem 2B).
• How many genome 16-mer fragments were found in your read set?
• How long did it take to complete the entire search process (all 16-mers)?
Problem #2 (of 2): The hash table with chaining
Create a class called FASTAreadset_Chain. Use the hash table data-structure to store the genomic
sequences of the given read dataset (hint: you will need to provide the size of the hash table). If you have
a duplicate sequence fragment or a duplicate hash value, use chaining method to resolve collisions.
Resizing is optional – you can hard-code the proper hash table size through the constructor. Use Radix /
division scheme for hash function implementation.
At minimum, the class must contain:
• A constructor
• A destructor
• A function to search the hash table for a given 16-mer sequence
• A function to insert a given 16-mer sequence into the hash table
• A private variable to set the hash table size
• A private variable to count the number of collisions during hash table creation
A. Assessing the impact of the hash table size. For this you will need to set the hash table to a fixed
value (m, see below) and read in the read set to populate the hash table. Set the size of your hash
table (m) to 10 thousand, 100 thousand, 1 million, and 10 million elements.
• For each of your 4 hash table sizes, how many collisions did you observe while populating the
hash?
• For each of your 4 hash table sizes, how long did it take you to read the sequence fragment file?
• Do the results make sense? Explain.
B. Searching in the chain-linked hash table. Set the hash size to 10,000,000 and populate it using the
read set. Read in the genome, iterate through all 16-mers found in the genome, and use them to
query the read set (similar to what you did in HW#2, problem 2B).
• How many genome 16-mer fragments were found in your read set?
• How long did it take to complete the entire search process (all 16-mers)?
• How does that compare to the direct access array search times you’ve implemented as part of
problem 1B?
