Good point, thanks! I'll add a subsection about the intuition for that.
I just added a section about the intuition behind the decoding: https://sandbox.bio/concepts/bwt#intuition-decoding , hope it helps!

Author here, nice to see the article posted here! I'm currently looking for ideas for other interactive articles, so let me know if think of other interesting/weird algorithms that are hard to wrap your head around.

The unintuitive part of BWT to me was always the reverse operation, which was the only thing the post didn't give intuition for :-)

This is a podcast we recorded about the promise and perils of AI in biology, where we dive into a case where AI was used to predict enzyme function and gave results that looked really promising, but were not quite right.

Once upon a time I found one that did the entire round trip, I neglected to bookmark it. So when I eventually forgot how it worked, or wanted to show others, I was stuck. Never did find it.
