Optimization of de novo transcriptome assembly from high-throughput short read sequencing data improves functional annotation for non-model organisms

Background: The k-mer hash length is a key factor affecting the output of de novo transcriptome assembly packages using de Bruijn graph algorithms. Assemblies constructed with varying single k-mer choices might result in the loss of unique contiguous sequences (contigs) and relevant biological infor...
