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

“…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). Counting the number of k–mers composing each query sample sequence that matched a discriminating k–mer from the dictionary provided a simple criterion for assignment to target species and evaluation of the entire sample. …”
