Finding Overlaps
Some of the reads share identical sequences of letters,sequence,(I,B,E,R). These could be from the same position in the original, unmutilated text.
When multiple copies of the text were shredded, each copy was shredded slightly differently so that each fragment contains different portions of the text. The overlap is the crucial factor for assembly.
