Bifrost: highly parallel construction and indexing of colored and compacted de Bruijn graphs

Abstract Memory consumption of de Bruijn graphs is often prohibitive. Most de Bruijn graph-based assemblers reduce the complexity by compacting paths into single vertices, but this is challenging as it requires the uncompacted de Bruijn graph to be available in memory. We present a parallel and memo...
