Recent developments in high-throughput sequencing technology have made low-cost
sequencing an attractive approach for many genome analysis tasks. Increasing read
lengths, improving quality and the production of increasingly larger numbers of usable
sequences per instrument-run continue to make whole-genome assembly an appealing
target application. In this paper we evaluate the feasibility of de novo genome assembly from
short reads (≤ 100 nucleotides) through a detailed study involving genomic sequences of …
