Construct the De Bruijn Graph of a Collection of k-mers solved by 1179

Given an arbitrary collection of k-mers Patterns (where some k-mers may appear multiple times), we define CompositionGraph(Patterns) as a graph with |Patterns| isolated edges. Every edge is labeled by a k-mer from Patterns, and the starting and ending nodes of an edge are labeled by the prefix and suffix of the k-mer labeling that edge. We then define the de Bruijn graph of Patterns, denoted DeBruijn(Patterns), by gluing identically labeled nodes in CompositionGraph(Patterns), which yields the following algorithm.

    DEBRUIJN(Patterns)
        represent every k-mer in Patterns as an isolated edge between its prefix and suffix
        glue all nodes with identical labels, yielding the graph DeBruijn(Patterns)
        return DeBruijn(Patterns)
