A convenient correspondence between k-mer-based metagenomic distances and phylogenetically-informed β-diversity measures.
k-mer-based distances are often used to describe the differences between communities in metagenome sequencing studies because of their computational convenience and history of effectiveness. Although k-mer-based distances do not use information about taxon abundances, we show that one class of k-mer...
