Author vii Abstract The advance of genome analysis bound to next-generation sequencing has allowed scientists to conduct research to deeper understand the biological structure of organisms. A problem of computationally demanding genome assembly based on a high volume of sequence reads is introduced. Several sequential solutions for de novo genome assembly are reviewed. Two fundamental types of genome assembly approaches exist, the sequence reconstruction via de Bruijn graph and the overlap graph method. We focus on parallelization of the genome assembly task using the overlap graph approach and the utilization of Apache Spark big data engine. We demonstrate that subtasks of genome assembly can be parallelized and computed in a distributed manner.

Results: In this paper, we develop a de Bruijn assembler, called Clover (clustering‑ oriented de novo assembler), that utilizes a novel k‑mer clustering approach from the overlap‑layout‑consensus concept to deal with the sequencing errors generated by the Illumina platform. We further evaluate Clover’s performance against several de Bruijn graph assemblers (ABySS, SOAPdenovo, SPAdes and Velvet), overlap‑layout‑con‑ sensus assemblers (Bambus2, CABOG and MSR‑CA) and string graph assembler (SGA) on three datasets (Staphylococcus aureus, Rhodobacter sphaeroides and human chromo‑ some 14). The results show that Clover achieves a superior assembly quality in terms of corrected N50 and E‑size while remaining a signifcantly competitive in run time except SOAPdenovo.

And, it helps to see two or more variations of assembly, so as to fully appreciate the distinctions between architectures. Some of these differences, such as register structure, are quite fundamental, while some of the differences are merely superficial. We have observed that many students seem to think that assembly lan- guage is rather obscure and complicated. Well, it is true that the complete manual for a CPU is extraordinarily thick, and may document hundreds of instructions and obscure addressing modes. However, it’s been our ex- perience that it is really only necessary to learn a small subset of a given assembly language (perhaps 30 instructions) in order to write a functional compiler. Many of the additional instructions and features exist to handle special cases for operating systems, floating point math, and multi-media computing. You can do almost everything needed with the basic subset. We will look at two different CPU architectures that are in wide use to- day: X86 and ARM.

  • Notes on X86-64 Programming
    Notes on x86-64 programming This document gives a brief summary of the x86-64 architecture and instruction set. It concentrates on features likely to be useful to compiler writing. It makes no aims at completeness; current versions of this architecture contain over 1000 distinct instructions! Fortunately, relatively few of these are needed in practice. For a fuller treatment of the material in this document, see Bryant and O’Hallaron, Computer Systems: A Pro- grammer’s Perspective, Prentice Hall, 2nd ed., Chapter 3. (Alternatively, use the first edition, which covers ordinary 32-bit x86 programming, and augment it with the on-line draft update for the second edition covering x86-64 topics, available at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/˜fp/courses/15213-s07/misc/asm64-handout.pdf. Note that there are few errors in the on-line draft.) In this document, we adopt “AT&T” style assembler syntax and opcode names, as used by the GNU assembler. x86-64 Most x86 processors manufactured by Intel and AMD for the past five years support a 64-bit mode that changes the register set and instruction set of the machine. When we choose to program using the “x86-64” model, it means both using this mode and adopting a particular Application Binary Interface (ABI) that dictates things like function calling conventions. For those familiar with 32-bit x86 programming, the main differences are these: • Addresses are 64 bits. • There is direct hardware support for arithmetic and logical operations on 64-bit integers. • There are 16 64-bit general purpose registers (instead of 8 32-bit ones).
