      DNA fragment assembly (FA) is an important problem in molecular
      biology.  It appears in large-scale DNA sequencing tasks.
      Research related to the FA problem has mainly focused into two
      approaches: (1) development of software tools useful in practice
      but using heuristic methods difficult to analyze formally, and (2)
      formal modeling through theoretical problems, which captures some
      but not all of the real issues in FA.  Our goal is to hybridize
      these two approaches by building a software tool that is useful to
      the biologists {\em and\/} has well-understood formal properties.
