KAnalyze

KAnalyze is a Java-based software tool designed to convert nucleotide sequences into k-mers, short overlapping fragments of uniform length, commonly used in bioinformatics applications. KAnalyze can output k-mer counts in a sorted tab-delimited file or stream k-mers as they are read, and process large datasets with 2 GB of memory. The tool outperforms existing k-mer counters such as Jellyfish, DSK, and a Perl/Linux utilities pipeline. KAnalyze is available on SourceForge and its command-line interface (CLI) is designed to integrate into pipelines written in any language.
