  • Use De Brujin graphs to estimate "completeness" of genomes
    • Find Eulerian path(s) in these graphs
    • Note the assumptions made in the paper
  • Lists compression techniques and the order to employ them
  • Can use this method to compute N50
    • N50 = the length of the largest contig (m) such that at least 50% of genome covered by contigs of size >= m.
    • A higher N50 score usually correlates to a more "correct" genome
  • Regardless of correctness of genome, for nearly all read sizes (1000nt > size > 25nt), 85%+ of genes accurately identified (85% is for 25nt reads).
