What Pezner is referring to here is if you have one entrance and two exits from a node. You know that there is only one way to visit the node x, but observe two exits. This can't happen if you only visit the node once.

Each node is a distinct (k-1)-mer and the paths are k-mers connecting different paths. They may lie on the same read or on multiple reads.
Consider the following example, using 3-mers. We have 3 6-bp reads: ATATAT, ATATGC, GCTATA. We have the following distinct 2-mers: AT, TA, TG, GC, and CT. AT -> TA (by ATA), AT -> TG (by ATG), TG -> GC (by TGC), GC -> CT (by GCT), CT -> TA (by CTA), and TA -> AT (by TAT).
In actual practice, this gets more complicated by including reverse compliments and self loops (i.e. AA -> AA (by AAA)).

"Multiplicity" in 2001 Pevzner EULER paper
I have a question about exactly how the multiplicity of an edge in the de Bruijn graph is determined. It seems that the multiplicity is simply the number of reads which covers an edge.
However, this seems to not be the complete story. Later, the paper goes on to discuss x,y-detachment. At the bottom of page 9752, left column, they state:
The second condition implies that the Eulerian Superpath
Problem has no solution, because P, Px,y1, and Px,y2 impose
three different scenarios for just two visits of the edge x.
My assumption here is that each of these paths is a read. Thus, there are three reads. Thus, the multiplicity of x would always be three. In other words, this second condition can never occur in a graph that was created from a set of reads, because there would be three visits (multiplicity three), rather than two visits.
What am I missing?
The paper is here.

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-

Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...-
