K-mer counting and clustering for biological sequence analysis
kmer
is an R package for rapidly computing distance matrices and
clustering large sequence datasets using fast alignment-free k-mer counting and
recursive k-means partitioning.
To download kmer
from CRAN and load the package, run
install.packages("kmer")
library("kmer")
To download the development version from GitHub, first ensure a C/C++ compliler is available and the devtools R package is installed. Linux users will generally have a compiler installed by default; however Windows users may need to download Rtools and Mac OSX users will need Xcode (note that these are not R packages). To download and install devtools, run
install.packages("devtools")
The kmer
package can then be installed and loaded by running
devtools::install_github("shaunpwilkinson/kmer")
library("kmer")
An overview of the package and its functions can be found by running
?kmer
To view the tutorial, you can either run
vignette("kmer-vignette")
or access it directly from CRAN.
