Hi @SilasK ,
Thanks for your interest.
I know it is probably so late and I really apologize for not replying sooner.
Pufferfish is basically designed as an index data structure on a set of known references plus the api required to query the set for a short sequencing read. Unfortunately, that means it is likely not useful to you for the purposes of assembly. It's basically an index designed for mapping/aligning short read sequences against a set of references --- and will also eventually be useful for assembly comparison (i.e. comparing references in terms of their De Bruijn graph paths). However, pufferfish does not, itself, perform any assembly.

Hello, your project seems very interesting.
Is it already possible to use it for assembly? If yes could you give me a hint where to start?
