Assembling genomes: Transforming Read-Pairs to Long Virtual Reads

Explore the process of genome assembly by transforming paired short DNA reads into longer virtual reads through paths in de Bruijn graphs. Understand how unique path identification enables constructing longer sequences computationally and the challenges posed by repetitive genomic regions during assembly.

Constructing de Bruijn graph from long reads

Let Reads be the collection of all 2N2N k-mer reads taken from N read-pairs. Note that a read-pair formed by k-mer reads Read1_{1} and Read2_{2} ...
