Simplitigs as an efficient and scalable representation of de Bruijn graphs

Abstract de Bruijn graphs play an essential role in bioinformatics, yet they lack a universal scalable representation. Here, we introduce simplitigs as a compact, efficient, and scalable representation, and ProphAsm, a fast algorithm for their computation. For the example of assemblies of model orga...
