  Description     : in-memory DNA sequence kmer counting, filtering & graph traversal

 khmer is a library and suite of command line tools for working with DNA

 sequence. It is primarily aimed at short-read sequencing data such as that

 produced by the Illumina platform. khmer takes a k-mer-centric approach to

 sequence analysis, hence the name.

Used by many bioinformatic processing pipelines. Co-maintained by the Debian

Med team; I am also the lead upstream developer.
