Efficient k-mer based curation of raw sequence data: application in Drosophila suzukii by Gautier, Mathieu

“…We applied it to high-throughput whole-genome raw sequence data for 236 Ind-Seq and 22 Pool-Seq samples of the invasive species Drosophila suzukii. We first used Clark software to build a dictionary of species-discriminating k–mers from the curated assemblies of 29 target drosophilid species (including D. melanogaster, D. simulans, D. subpulchrella, or D. biarmipes) and 12 common drosophila pathogens and commensals (including Wolbachia). …”
