Abstract
Genome assembly is one of the most important problems in computational genomics. Here, we suggest addressing the scaffolding phase, in which contigs need to be linked and ordered to obtain larger pseudo-chromosomes, by means of a second incomplete assembly of a related species. The idea is to use alignments of binned regions in one contig to find the most homologous contig in the other assembly. We show that ordering the contigs of the other assembly can be expressed by a new string problem, the longest run subsequence problem (LRS). We show that LRS is NP-hard and present reduction rules and two algorithmic approaches that, together, are able to solve large instances of LRS to provable optimality. In particular, they can solve realistic instances resulting from partial Arabidopsis thaliana assemblies in short computation time. Our source code and all data used in the experiments are freely available.
