Khmer - python scripts for k-mer counting, filtering and graph traversal.

Available scripts: abundance-dist.py, count-median.py, do-partition.sh, filter-abund.py, find-knots.py, load-into-counting.py, merge-partitions.py, normalize-by-median.py, partition-graph.py, annotate-partitions.py, count-overlap.py, extract-partitions.py, filter-stoptags.py, load-graph.py, make-initial-stoptags.py, normalize-by-kadian.py, normalize-by-min.py

Use "import khmer" in your script or in an interactive python session.

Environment Modules

Run module spider khmer to find out what environment modules are available for this application.

System Variables

  • HPC_KHMER_DIR - installation directory
  • HPC_KHMER_BIN
  • HPC_KHMER_LIB




Citation

If you use the khmer software, you must cite:

Crusoe et al., The khmer software package: enabling efficient sequence analysis. 2014. doi: 10.6084/m9.figshare.979190

If you use any of khmer's published scientific methods, you should *also* cite the relevant paper(s), as directed below.
