Question: Using a De Bruijn graph, find a linear string of minimal length that contains every DNA 2 - mer exactly once [ ' AA '

Using a De Bruijn graph, find a linear string of minimal length that contains every
DNA 2-mer exactly once ['AA','AC','AT','AG','CA','CC','CT','CG','TA','TC','TT','TG',
'GA','GC','GT','GG']. A DNA 2-mer consists of two characters from the set ['A','C','T',
'G'] and represents overlapping pairs in DNA sequences. If you choose to solve with a
coding approach, your code should take a list of DNA 2-mers as input and should give
an output of the resulting linear string.
Note: Programming or a manual hand solution is acceptable forthis problem.
B. What is the k value if we would like to have a De Bruijn graph having only two nodes
to represent the string from Part A? Show your graph.
