Abstract: Various embodiments of the disclosure relate to systems and methods for aligning a sequence read to a graph reference. In one embodiment, the method comprises selecting a first node from a graph reference, the graph reference comprising a plurality of nodes connected by a plurality of directed edges, at least one node of the plurality of nodes having a nucleotide sequence. The method further comprises traversing the graph reference according to a depth-first search, and comparing a sequence read to nucleotide sequences generated from the traversal of the graph reference. The traversal of the graph is then modified in response to a determination that each and every node associated with a given nucleotide sequence was previously evaluated.
