TY - JOUR AU - Hua, Kui AU - Zhang, Xuegong PY - 2019 DA - 2019/04/04 TI - Estimating the total genome length of a metagenomic sample using k-mers JO - BMC Genomics SP - 183 VL - 20 IS - 2 AB - Metagenomic sequencing is a powerful technology for studying the mixture of microbes or the microbiomes on human and in the environment. One basic task of analyzing metagenomic data is to identify the component genomes in the community. This task is challenging due to the complexity of microbiome composition, limited availability of known reference genomes, and usually insufficient sequencing coverage.
