A De Bruijn graph is a graph representation used to describe the relationships between sequences, particularly in the context of genome assembly. It is constructed by creating nodes that represent all possible k-mers (subsequences of length k) derived from a given sequence, with directed edges connecting these nodes based on their overlap. This structure is crucial for efficient genome assembly algorithms, as it allows for the reconstruction of long sequences from shorter reads by representing all possible overlaps succinctly.
congrats on reading the definition of De Bruijn Graph. now let's actually learn it.
