内容：

Modern DNA sequencing technologies can produce large quantities of short strings called reads, each read covering a small fraction of the genome being sequenced. In this talk we will describe how to estimate the size of the genome from this data. Our method is based on counting occurrences of fixed-sized substrings in the set of reads, summarizing these counts in a histogram and modeling the histogram using probabilistic models of the sequencing process. This research was done with Michal Hozza, Werner Krampl, and Tomas Vinar.
