Gerbil: a fast and memory-efficient k-mer counter with GPU-support
Abstract Background A basic task in bioinformatics is the counting of k-mers in genome sequences. Existing k-mer counting tools are most often optimized for small k < 32 and suffer from excessive memory resource consumption or degrading performance for large k. However, given the technology trend...
