HGA flows: Flow diagrams represent the basic assembly flow and the hierarchical assembly flows. The basic flow represents the assembly of all reads in the dataset together. HGA flow using merged contigs represent the flow of partitioning the reads in the dataset into p disjoint partitions, then assembling each partition independently. After that the contigs of each partition’s assembly will be merged together. Lastly re-assemble the merged contigs with the whole reads. The only difference between HGA flow using merged contigs and HGA flow using combined contigs is that instead of merging the contigs of all partitions’ assemblies, they will be combined (assembled) together. In this paper, we used Velvet to assemble the contigs
