Kmer-SSR

Kmer-SSR detects simple sequence repeats (SSRs, microsatellites) in genomic nucleotide sequences, providing exhaustive identification with complete precision and recall for applications in population genetics, phylogenetics, and forensics.

Key Features:

• Exhaustive Detection: Provides an exhaustive detection mode that identifies all SSRs of specified lengths with reported 100% precision and recall.
• Parallelized Processing: Leverages parallel computing to increase processing speed for large genomic datasets while maintaining exhaustive detection.
• Flexible Filtering Options: Includes filtering options to select subsets of SSRs based on customizable criteria.

Scientific Applications:

• Population Genetics: Enables analysis of SSR variation to assess genetic diversity and evolutionary relationships within and between species.
• Phylogenetics: Aids construction of phylogenetic trees and inference of evolutionary histories using precise SSR identification.
• Forensics: Facilitates DNA profiling and individual identification via accurate SSR detection.

Methodology:

Uses an exhaustive detection mode and a parallelized approach to comprehensively scan genomic sequences, with algorithmic design prioritizing both speed and accuracy.
