Abstract

Our ability to sequence the genomic data at our disposal is limited. At each experiment we can sequence reliably only a short fraction of even the smallest genome. We are then faced with the challenge of assembly-combining the short patches we have into a correct reconstruction of as large as possible a fragment of the original sample. The problem has been thoroughly researched and many commercial and academic tools exist to carry it out. However due to basic features of the problem the results of even our best efforts will be sometimes disappointing for the researcher. In this chapter we will try to explain why the assembly problem is so hard, what future directions may alleviate it in the near future, and what can be realistically expected from a current assembly experiment.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 August 2013.
All research outputs
#12,587,328
of 22,715,151 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#3,126
of 13,079 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#47,102
of 59,350 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#1
of 1 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,715,151 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,079 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 59,350 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
