Description

DNA sequence datasets can be analyzed by counting k-mers quickly and with controlled memory use.

It is useful in bioinformatics workflows that compare genomes, estimate coverage, prepare assemblies, or study repeated sequence patterns. The tool expects sequence data and command-line parameters, so it is mainly for researchers and technical users.
