Abstract:

De novo genome assembly is a fundamental problem in computational molecular 
biology that aims to reconstruct an unknown genome sequence from a set of short 
DNA sequences (or reads) obtained from the genome. The relative ordering of the 
reads along the target genome is not known a priori, which is one of the main 
contributors to the increased complexity of the assembly process. In this 
article, with the dual objective of improving assembly quality and exposing a 
high degree of parallelism, we present a partitioning-based approach. Our 
framework, BOA (bucket-order-assemble), uses a bucketing alongside graph- and 
hypergraph-based partitioning techniques to produce a partial ordering of the 
reads. This partial ordering enables us to divide the read set into disjoint 
blocks that can be independently assembled in parallel using any state-of-the-art 
serial assembler of choice. Experimental results show that BOA improves both the 
overall assembly quality and performance.
