  • Abstract
    In DNA fragment assembly problem we are given a large set of DNA fragments and we have to construct a complete DNA sequence from them. As it is an NP-hard problem, accurate DNA sequence is hard to find. It is one of the crucial challenges faced by computational biologists. To approximate the DNA sequence, metaheuristic-based algorithms can come in handy. We analyze the performance of two hybrid metaheuristic algorithms to solve the fragment assembly problem and report quite promising results.
