Skmer: assembly-free and alignment-free sample identification using genome skims

Abstract The ability to inexpensively describe taxonomic diversity is critical in this era of rapid climate and biodiversity changes. The recent genome-skimming approach extends current barcoding practices beyond short markers by applying low-pass sequencing and recovering whole organelle genomes co...
