Abstract

Counting all k -mers in a given dataset is a standard procedure in many bioinformatics applications. We introduce KMC3, a significant improvement of the former KMC2 algorithm together with KMC tools for manipulating k -mer databases. Usefulness of the tools is shown on a few real problems.
