Figure 5From: Assessing the benefits of using mate-pairs to resolve repeats in de novo short-read prokaryotic assembliesA simplified de Bruijn graph. A small de Bruijn assembly graph after the simplification process is complete. The nodes R1, R2, R3, and R4 are repeats (decision nodes), and the shaded nodes are non-decision nodes. Note that non-decision nodes can only reside sandwiched between repeats.Back to article page
