Description

Efficiently counts k-mers from DNA sequencing reads using a fast, memory-efficient, parallelized algorithm

Input

name:type
description
pattern

meta

:map

Groovy Map containing sample information e.g. [ id:'sample1' ]

fasta

:file

Nucleotide sequences in FASTA format

*.{fasta,fa,fna,faa}

kmer_length

:integer

k-mer size to use

size

:string

Specifies the memory hash size (in bytes) to allocate for the k-mer counting hash table (e.g., ‘100M’). A mean estimation could be carried with this formula: ‘genome size + (genome size * coverage * kmer-length * error rate)’

Jellyfish is a tool for fast, memory-efficient counting of k-mers in DNA. A k-mer is a substring of length k, and counting the occurrences of all such substrings is a central step in many analyses of DNA sequence
