    Abstract: Techniques for generating a personalized reference sequence construct for an individual to align sequence reads obtained for the individual. The techniques include: obtaining a plurality of sequence reads for an individual; obtaining information identifying a plurality of locations; genotyping the plurality of sequence reads for the plurality of locations to obtain a first set of variants for the individual for at least some of the plurality of locations; identifying a second set of variants associated with the first set of variants; generating a personalized reference sequence construct using the second set of variants; and aligning the plurality of sequence reads to the personalized reference sequence construct.
