We study the information theoretic limits of DNA assembly from paired reads. Each paired read consists of two subsequences of the DNA separated by a certain genomic distance. We show that this problem can be naturally cast as assembly of 2-D jigsaw puzzles. Using this representation, a necessary condition for assembly is derived and is shown to be nearly achieved on several probabilistic genome models.
