Abstract
Kmer-db is a new tool for estimating evolutionary relationship on the basis of k-mers extracted from genomes or sequencing reads. Thanks to an efficient data structure and parallel implementation, our software estimates distances between 40 715 pathogens in <7 min (on a modern workstation), 26 times faster than Mash, its main competitor. https://github.com/refresh-bio/kmer-db and http://sun.aei.polsl.pl/REFRESH/kmer-db. Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
