High-Performance Haplotype Assembly
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of Haplotype Assembly is an essential step in human genome analysis. It is typically formalised as the Minimum Error Correction (MEC) problem which is NP-hard. MEC has been approached using heuristics, integer linear programming, and fixedparameter tractability (FPT), including approaches whose runtime is exponential in the length of the DNA fragments obtained by the sequencing process. Technological improvements are currently increasing fragment length, which drastically elevates computational costs for such methods. We present pWhatsHap, a multi-core parallelisation of WhatsHap, a recent FPT optimal approach to MEC. WhatsHap moves complexity from fragment length to fragment overlap and is hence of particular interest when considering sequencing technology’s current trends. pWhatsHap further improves the efficiency in solving the MEC problem, as shown by experiments performed on datasets with high coverage.

Self-organizing map approaches for the haplotype assembly problem
Haplotype assembly is to reconstruct a pair of haplotypes from SNP values observed in a set of individual DNA fragments. In this paper, we focus on studying minimum error correction (MEC) model for the haplotype assembly problem and explore self-organizing map (SOM) methods for this problem. Specifically, haplotype assembly by MEC is formulated into an integer linear programming model. Since th...
