Every organism’s genome consists of a unique sequence of nucleotides. These nucleotides bases provide the phenotypes and genotypes of a cell. In mathematics, Graph theory is the study of mathematical objects known as graphs which are made of vertices (or nodes) connected by either directed edges or indirect edges. Determining the sequence in which these nucleotides are bonded can help scientists and researchers to compare DNA between organisms, which can help show how the organisms are related. In this research, we study how graph theory plays a vital part in genome sequencing and different types of graphs used during DNA sequencing.
