Simpson and Richard Durbin. Efficient construction of an assembly string graph using the FM-index. Bioinformatics 2010, 26(12): i367-i373. doi: [[http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btq217]])] 
 + 
 +===== Methods ====== 
 +  * Uses the Burrows-Wheeler Transform(BWT)/Ferragina—Manzini(FM)-index to build a string graph. 
 + 
 +===== String Graphs ====== 
 +  * Nodes are reads (reads that are substrings are condensed into superstrings).  Edges are overlaps between reads, and the non-overlapping prefix is stored in the forward edge and suffix is stored in the backwards edge. 
 +  * Condenses repeats like a de Bruijn graph. 
 +  * More expensive to construct than a de Bruijn graph. 
 + 
 +===== BWT/​FM-index ===== 
 +  * Like BWA, it uses the FM-index, which is a compressed method of inferring the suffix array. 
 +  * The Burrows Wheeler transform B_X is an array of the last characters in the alphabetically sorted suffix array. 
 +  * The FM-index (two data structures: 1. C_X(abe the number of symbols in X that are lexographically lower than the symbol a, 2. Occ_X(a, i) be the number of occurrences of the symbol a in B_X[1, i], the ) allows substring searching and can be extended to construct the string graph. 
 +===== String Graph Construction with the FM-index ===== 
 +===== Installation ===== 
 +Installation of SGA from the GitHub is a major pain, because it has so many dependencies. ​ It needs 
 +  * google-sparsehash (also needed for Abyss) 
 +  * hoard 
 +  * bamtools, which is a particular pain to install because it uses 
 +    * cmake (newer than the version installed on campusrocks),​ and cmake does not support installing stuff anywhere other than in the initial directory or root-access-only directories,​ so we can't do the usual "​configure --prefix=/​campusdata/​BME235"​ 
 + 
 +Once cmake, bamtools, hoard, and google/​sparsehash are all installed as best they can be, then the UCSC-install.bash script can be run to install SGA.  Actually running SGA is still to be tested!
