Query: Parallel String Graph Construction and Transitive Reduction for De Novo
  Genome Assembly   One of the most computationally intensive tasks in computational biology is
de novo genome assembly, the decoding of the sequence of an unknown genome from
redundant and erroneous short sequences. A common assembly paradigm identifies
overlapping sequences, simplifies their layout, and creates consensus. Despite
many algorithms developed in the literature, the efficient assembly of large
genomes is still an open problem. In this work, we introduce new
distributed-memory parallel algorithms for overlap detection and layout
simplification steps of de novo genome assembly, and implement them in the
diBELLA 2D pipeline. Our distributed memory algorithms for both overlap
detection and layout simplification are based on linear-algebra operations over
semirings using 2D distributed sparse matrices. Our layout step consists of
performing a transitive reduction from the overlap graph to a string graph. We
provide a detailed communication analysis of the main stages of our new
algorithms. diBELLA 2D achieves near linear scaling with over 80% parallel
efficiency for the human genome, reducing the runtime for overlap detection by
1.2-1.3x for the human genome and 1.5-1.9x for C. elegans compared to the
state-of-the-art. Our transitive reduction algorithm outperforms an existing
distributed-memory implementation by 10.5-13.3x for the human genome and 18-29x
for the C. elegans. Our work paves the way for efficient de novo assembly of
large genomes using long reads in distributed memory.
