OMH

Order Min Hash (OMH) is a locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) method designed to edit distance in sequence alignment. It improves upon the existing minHash LSH, which approximates the Jaccard similarity, by considering not only the k-mer contents of the sequences but also the relative order of the k-mers within the sequences. This refinement allows OMH to provide a more accurate estimation of the likelihood of two sequences having a proper alignment while maintaining the computational efficiency of LSH methods.
