Spaced seeds improve k-mer-based metagenomic classification [PDF]
Metagenomics is a powerful approach to study genetic content of environmental samples that has been strongly promoted by NGS technologies. To cope with massive data involved in modern metagenomic projects, recent tools [4, 39] rely on the analysis of k ...

Gerbil: A Fast and Memory-Efficient $k$-mer Counter with GPU-Support [PDF]
A basic task in bioinformatics is the counting of $k$-mers in genome strings. The $k$-mer counting problem is to build a histogram of all substrings of length $k$ in a given genome sequence.

Analyzing the MERS disease control strategy through an optimal control problem
A deterministic mathematical model of the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) disease is introduced. Medical masks, supportive care treatment and a government campaign about the importance of medical masks will be involved in the model as time ...

Phylogenetically informed k-mers, or phylo-k-mers for short, are k-mers that are predicted to appear within a given genomic region at predefined locations of a fixed phylogeny. Given a reference alignment for this genomic region and assuming a phylogenetic model of sequence evolution, we can compute a probability score for any given k-mer at any given ...
