From Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia.
In
bioinformatics, sequence
assembly refers to
aligning and merging fragments
of a
DNA sequence to reconstruct
the original sequence, typically
fragments of the
genome resulting from
shotgun sequencing, or
fragments of a
gene transcript (ESTs).
Popular sequence assemblers are
Phrap and CAP3, Phrap is very fast
assembler, while CAP3 is slower,
but generally considered more
accurate.
