Description-en: approximate comparative metagenomics method dedicated to NGS datasets
Simka is a de novo comparative metagenomics tool. Simka represents each
dataset as a k-mer spectrum and compute several classical ecological
distances between them.
.
The difference with Simka stands in the fact that SimkaMin outputs
approximate (but very similar) results by subsampling the kmer space.
With this strategy, and with default parameters, SimkaMin is an order
of magnitude faster, uses 10 times less memory and 70 times less disk
than Simka.
