Genome assembly using quantum and quantum-inspired annealing

Abstract: Recent advances in DNA sequencing open prospects to make whole-genome analysis rapid and reliable, which is promising for various applications including personalized medicine. However, existing techniques for de novo genome assembly, which is used for the analysis of genomic rearrangements, chromosome phasing, and reconstructing genomes without a reference, require solving tasks of high computational complexity. Here we demonstrate a method for solving genome assembly tasks with the use of quantum and quantum-… Show more

“…In Boev et al ( 2021 ), the authors developed a method for solving genome assembly tasks with the use of quantum and quantum-inspired optimization techniques. Within this method, we present experimental results on genome assembly using quantum annealers both for simulated data and the φ X 174 bacteriophages.…”

“…The quantum properties of DNA have been proposed for use in sequencing (for example, interpreting electron tunneling current-voltage differences between the four nucleotide bases as a strand of DNA passes through a nanopore [75]), but quantum methods are mainly deployed in sequence reconstruction (aligning and merging reads to reassemble the original genome). Quantum algorithms have been proposed (for both gate-array and quantum annealing machines) to accelerate DNA sequence reconstruction [76] and demonstrated on quantum annealing platforms to reconstruct short sequences (seven nucleotides) [77]. Quantum annealing machines are also used in basic research to assess the binding affinity of gene regulatory proteins to the genome [78].…”

“…Given their early development, large qubit counts, and robust connectivity maps, multiple proof of principle demonstrations targeting bioinformatics and computational biology applications have been developed using quantum annealers. These include ranking and classification of transcription factor binding affinities [257], the discovery of biological pathways in cancer from genepatient mutation data [258], cancer subtyping [259], the prediction of amino acid side chains and conformations that stabilize a fixed protein backbone (a key procedure in protein design) [260], various approaches to protein folding [261,262,263,264,265], and two recent approaches for de novo assembly of genomes [248,266].…”

“…In the near term, these refinements could include i) recasting them for NISQ devices using the VQA, QAOA, or QA frameworks and ii) integrating greater biological context. Already, examples of this type of work exist for de novo assembly [248,266], sequence alignment [270], and the inference of biological networks [274,275]. Over the long term, operational advantages may be pursued by optimizing near term approaches and integrating fast quantum algorithm subroutines where possible.…”
