Recent progress in DNA amplification techniques, particularly multiple displacement
amplification (MDA), has made it possible to sequence and assemble bacterial
genomes from a single cell. However, the quality of single cell genome assembly has
not yet reached the quality of normal multi-cell genome assembly due to the coverage
bias (including uneven depth of coverage and region blackout) and errors caused by
MDA. Computational methods try to mitigates the amplification bias. In this document
we introduce a de novo co-assembly method using colored de Bruijn graph,
which can overcome the problem of blackout regions due to amplification bias. The
algorithm is …
