De Novo Sequencing A process in which a novel genome is sequenced for the first time and requires specialized assembly of sequencing reads. For this tutorial the assembler Velvet will be used to assemble the genome.  A recommended approach will be followed in testing different kmer settings.

Velvet Velvet is a short read de novo assembler using de Bruijn graphs. More information about Velvet (including the manual) can be found here: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~zerbino/velvet/
