Hey all,
I am an undergrad who is just getting into bioinformatics and I am looking to understand a little bit more about NGS and assembly technology. In my reading, I am consistently finding discussion about k-mer length but I am yet to find a really good explanation of what exactly a k-mer is. Can anyone help me out, or point me in the direction of a good source to help me understand this a little better?
Thanks!
