Sequence Assembly Goal : get the DNA/RNA sequence. Machine cannot read whole genomes in one go, but rather small pieces between 20 and 1000 bases. Define: Read = Tag = Fragment
De novo sequence assembly
MAPPING Map the tag to the reference genome. Resequencing

De novo sequence assembly Calculating the overlap need huge amount of time.
DE BRUIJN GRAPH K-Mer : Length k substring of the Tag. Each nodes only have 4 out degrees at most. Hashing the node. “CTG”=>(132) 4 =(30) 10 “CTG”=>”TG G ” (132=) 4 shift left. (1320) 4 module (1000) 4 (320) 4 + (3) 4 ‘G’ (323) 4
DE BRUIJN GRAPH (CONT’) If there are repeats, like ”GACT” 3-Mer De Bruijn can not know which way is the correct way. 6-Mer can get the correct sequence. Larger K, better result.
De novo sequence assembly Suppose use K = Length of Tag. (20-Mer) TGACGTAGCTATGTATTTTG GACGTAGCTATGTATTTTG T (no 20-Mer) Coverage is not enough to support large K.

MY METHOD. Tag length=6, K=3 When we have AAGACT? Try all the way: A AGACTC AAGACTT AAGACTG Check Tag : AGACTC The correct way should be AAGACT C

RNA ASSEMBLY’S PROBLEM Merge? Index the sequence.
RNA ASSEMBLY’S PROBLEM(CONT’) Solution?
RNA ASSEMBLY’S PROBLEM(CONT’) Index Tags
RNA ASSEMBLY’S PROBLEM(CONT’) Solution? Speed?
SINGLE TAG’S LIMITATION |Yellow Sequence| >= Length of Tag Length of Tag bp. Single Tag is not enough!
DATASET - PAIRED END TAGS Fragment length usually > 1k Some RNA sequence is shorter than 1k.
TO DO Handle large data-sets. (10G) Improve accuracy. Using PETs data.
