🌸 NAME 🌸

nthll — a streaming algorithm that estimates cardinality in genomics datasets. bestie it counts your k-mers without hoarding all your RAM, it's giving efficiency 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nthll [OPTION]... FILE(S)...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. nthll estimates the distinct number of k-mers in FILE(S). that's it, that's the whole vibe. ✨

Acceptable file formats: fastq, fasta, sam, bam — and yes she reads compressed too, namely gz, bz, zip, xz. queen behavior honestly 🎀

Bonus trick: it also accepts a list of files — just drop an @ at the beginning of the list name. iykyk 😌

🌈 Also, a little heading from the original that lives right here: Options:

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -t, --threads=N — use N parallel threads [1]. and listen, you should use N>=2 when your input files are >=2. multitasking icon 🧚
  • -k, --kmer=N — the length of kmer [64]. default is 64, don't come for her 💜
  • --help — display this help and exit. the "just tell me what's going on" button 🫶
  • --version — output version information and exit. for when you need to know exactly which era of nthll you're in 💅
