SUMMARY:Scalable Methods for Genome Assembly
DESCRIPTION:Priyanka Ghosh and Ananth Kalyanaraman (Washington State Unive
 rsity)\n\nGenome assembly is a fundamental problem in the field of bioinfo
 rmatics wherein the goal lies in the reconstruction of an unknown genome f
 rom short DNA fragments obtained from it. With the advent of high-throughp
 ut sequencing technologies, billions of reads can be generated in a few ho
 urs. My reseach deals with addressing the challenges of conducting genome 
 assembly at scale and developing new methods for conducting extreme-scale 
 genome assembly suited for microbial genomes, and complex eukaryotic genom
 es. Our approach to the problem is two-fold, wherein we target fast and sp
 ace-efficient assemblies of moderate sized genomes on a single node with o
 ur shared-memory based implementation (FastEtch). Secondly we aim to tackl
 e the assembly of very large genomes with our distributed-memory based app
 roach (PaKman), in an attempt to minimize the turnaround time such that it
  could potentially pave the way to conducting the assembly process in real
 -time.\n\nRegistration Category: Workshop Reg Pass, Tutorial Reg Pass, Tec
