Next-generation sequencing necessitates advanced whole-genome shotgun assembly algorithms. This review compares key software packages and assembly methods for DNA sequencing data, aiding researchers in selecting appropriate tools.

Area of Science:

Genomics
Bioinformatics
Computational Biology

Background:

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms have driven significant advancements in whole-genome shotgun (WGS) assembly research.
NGS data (e.g., Roche 454, Illumina/Solexa, ABI SOLiD) exhibit distinct characteristics like shorter read lengths, higher coverage, and varied error profiles compared to traditional Sanger sequencing.

Purpose of the Study:

To review and compare de novo assembly software packages developed or updated for NGS data.
To provide a general comparison of the de Bruijn graph and overlap/layout/consensus (OLC) assembly approaches.

Main Methods:

Comparative analysis of published descriptions for WGS assembly software.
Review of de Bruijn graph and OLC methodologies in the context of NGS data assembly.
