Sunday Morning Insight: Crossing into P territory

 



To recap, in compressive sensing, it's been known for a while that some solutions can be found thanks to l_1 (P or Polynomial time) relaxation of combinatorial problems (NP). In fact, the whole field of compressive sensing took off when people realized one could be on the P side most of the time.

In genome sequencing the latest long read technology have enabled the whole field to transport itself  from an NP territory into one where polynomial-time algorithms (P) will do OK. The threshold to cross is about 2K. Here is what we can read from the PacBio technology



When you go in P territory, many things change, here is one:

and here is what people say about the Oxford Nanopore technology.
