@Brian says this on BBMap guide page.

This guide will not describe BBMap’s algorithm, other than to say it uses a multi-kmer-seed-and-extend approach, analogous to growing polycrystalline silicon. For those interested, there is a paper describing many of the technical details here: http://bib.irb.hr/datoteka/773708.Josip_Maric_diplomski.pdf
