Modern genome sequencers are capable of producing millions to billions of short reads of DNA. Each new generation of genome sequencers is able to provide an order of magnitude more data than the previous, resulting in an exponential increase in required data processing throughput. The challenge today is to build a software genome assembler that is highly parallel, fast, and inexpensive to run. ...
