摘 要:
In the field of genome assembly, through scaffolding algorithms, a more complete and contiguous reference genome can be obtained, which is the cornerstone of genomic research. Scaffolding algorithms typically utilize the alignments between contigs and sequencing data (reads) to determine the orientation and order among contigs and to produce longer scaffolds, which are helpful for genomic downstream analysis.We present a novel scaffolding algorithm (called BOSS), which employs short paired reads for scaffolding. To construct a scaffold graph, BOSS utilizes the distribution of insert size to decide whether an edge between two vertices (contigs) should be added and how an edge should be weighed. Moreover, BOSS adopts an iterative strategy to detect spurious edges whose removal can guarantee no contradictions in the scaffold graph. We also present a scaffolding algorithm based on long reads and contig classification (SLR). SLR classifies the contigs into unique contigs and ambiguous contigs for addressing the problem of repetitive regions.
