  • kmer counting software issue

    There are many kmer counting software. If just to find repeats, can I just use someone that can count frequency and can give the kmer position in the genome(or reads), and then align the high frequency kmers? Some software just output the kmer counts, I don't know which software can output the kmer position along with the kmer counts.

    You can always map the k-mers back to the genome with e.g. bowtie2..

      Thank you. I think mapping back is redundant because when counting it can also do that. I will try to find some other ways to do that.

        Saving positional information is a lot of overhead for k-mer counting algorithms so I'm not so sure it has been implemented in any of them..

          For bacterial genomes there is an old program which can do this for 8-14mer kmers called OligoCounter. Not useful for large genomes though (>50 MB?).



          Mapping back to the genome is probably a much quicker option.

            Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
            by seqadmin


            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...

            Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
            by seqadmin


            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...
