In this article, we present QuASeR, a reference-free DNA sequence
reconstruction implementation via de novo assembly on both gate-based and
quantum annealing platforms. Each one of the four steps of the implementation
(TSP, QUBO, Hamiltonians and QAOA) is explained with simple proof-of-concept
examples to target both the genomics research community and quantum application
developers in a self-contained manner. The details of the implementation are
discussed for the various layers of the quantum full-stack accelerator design.
We also highlight the limitations of current classical simulation and available
quantum hardware systems. The implementation is open-source and can be found on
