MQF and buffered MQF: quotient filters for efficient storage of k-mers with their counts and metadata
Abstract Background Specialized data structures are required for online algorithms to efficiently handle large sequencing datasets. The counting quotient filter (CQF), a compact hashtable, can efficiently store k-mers with a skewed distribution. Result Here, we present the mixed-counters quotient fi...
