abstract

Motivation: New long read sequencers promise to transform sequencing and genome assembly by producing reads tens of kilobases long. However their high error rate significantly complicates assembly and requires expensive correction steps to layout the reads using standard assembly engines. Results: We present an original and efficient spectral algorithm to layout the uncorrected nanopore reads, and its seamless integration into a straightforward overlap/layout/consensus (OLC) assembly scheme. The method is shown to assemble Oxford Nanopore reads from several bacterial genomes into good quality (~99% identity to the reference) genome-sized contigs, while yielding more fragmented assemblies from a Sacharomyces cerevisiae reference strain.

    Restart schemes for SGD on KL-satisfying non-smooth weakly convex problems deliver accelerated convergence robust to exponent misspecification, with optimal schedules resembling Polyak steps.
