Assembly complexity of prokaryotic genomes using short reads

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>De Bruijn graphs are a theoretical framework underlying several modern genome assembly programs, especially those that deal with very short reads. We describe an application of de Bruijn graphs to analyze the global repeat structure...
