K-mer Count Frequency

What are K-mers?

A k-mer is a subsequence of length k contained within a biological sequence. Decomposing sequences into k-mers is a powerful technique used in sequence assembly (de Bruijn graphs), taxonomic classification, and motif discovery.

Use Cases

  • Checking codon usage bias (k=3).
  • Identifying repetitive elements.
