Large-scale k-mer-based analysis of the informational properties of genomes, comparative genomics and taxonomy.

Information theoretic approaches are ubiquitous and effective in a wide variety of bioinformatics applications. In comparative genomics, alignment-free methods, based on short DNA words, or k-mers, are particularly powerful. We evaluated the utility of varying k-mer lengths for genome comparisons by...
