KITSUNE: A Tool for Identifying Empirically Optimal K-mer Length for Alignment-Free Phylogenomic Analysis

Genomic DNA is the best “unique identifier” for organisms. Alignment-free phylogenomic analysis, simple, fast, and efficient method to compare genome sequences, relies on looking at the distribution of small DNA sequence of a particular length, referred to as k-mer. The k-mer approach has been explo...
