Given the k-molecule-spectrum {ATT/AAT, TGC/GCA, GCC/GGC, CCA/TGG, CAA/TTG, AAC/GTT}, the approach of Pevzner et al. (2001) builds the graph on the left, and searches for two “complementary” walks. The bidirected de Bruijn graph is on the right. One walk that includes all of the edges spells ATTGCCAAC, and its reverse walk spells GTTGGCAAT.
