Abstract

Reads sequences from giga sequencer with parallel processing include many read errors. Various de Novo assembly methods by use of k-mer has been proposed in order to remove read error region and derive contigs, such as Velvet, ABySS, SSAKE and so on. Hybrid assembly algorithms by integrating the results of traditional assembly method have been proposed such as MAIA and GAA. Because assembly result depends on assembly algorithm and k value, it is difficult to obtain assembly results robustly. In this paper, we designed a double assembly method merging different k-mers and applied it to combining rules with a characteristic distribution of k-mer's coverage value for contig. We compared our proposed method with traditional assembly method to evaluate the effectiveness. The experiment was carried out by use of E. coli data and evaluated its performance with coverage ratio, the correct ratio of output contigs.
