Metagenomic QC
Metagenomic Quality Control
In our manuscript "Quality control of microbiota metagenomics by k-mer analysis." by Larsen and co-workers BMC Genomics, In Press, we demonstrate that k-mer distribution analysis monitor the quality of metagenomic sequences of complex microbiota consortia in a platform-independent manner.

We have developed a software that will perform a complete k-mer count of metagenomic raw sequences. Our software is written by Florian Plaza Onate (INRA, Jouy-en-Josas) in C++ and supports colour space reads and the CSFasta file format as an input. In addition, our software is more rapid than Jellyfish for small k. Our software is freely accessible for academic use here. For industrial partners please
