Motivation: De Bruijn graph, a fundamental data structure to represent and organize genome sequence, plays important roles in various kinds of sequence analysis tasks such as de novo assembly, high-throughput sequencing (HTS) read alignment, pan-genome analysis, metagenomics analysis, HTS read correction, etc. With the rapid development of HTS data and ever-increasing number of assembled genomes, there is a high demand to construct de Bruijn graph for sequences up to Tera-base-pair level. It is non-trivial since the size of the graph to be constructed could be very large and each graph consists of hundreds of billions of vertices and edges. Current existing approaches may have unaffordable memory footprints to handle such a large de Bruijn graph. Moreover, it also requires the construction approach to handle very large dataset efficiently, even if in a relatively small RAM space. Results: We propose a lightweight parallel de Bruijn graph construction approach, de Bruijn Graph Constructor in Scalable Memory (deGSM). The main idea of deGSM is to efficiently construct the Burrows-Wheeler Transformation (BWT) of the unipaths of de Bruijn graph in constant RAM space and transform the BWT into the original unitigs. It is mainly implemented by a fast parallel external sorting of k-mers, which allows only a part of k-mers kept in RAM by a novel organization of the k-mers. The experimental results demonstrate that, just with a commonly used machine, deGSM is able to handle very large genome sequence(s), e.g., the contigs (305 Gbp) and scaffolds (1.1 Tbp) recorded in GenBank database and Picea abies HTS dataset (9.7 Tbp). Moreover, deGSM also has faster or comparable construction speed compared with state-of-the-art approaches. With its high scalability and efficiency, deGSM has enormous potentials in many large scale genomics studies.
