Small K-mer Counting with Rust.
Most k-mer counters are optimized for large k. However, some (admittedly rather niche) use cases require only short k-mers. SmaKCR is a simple k-mer counter that is faster than the most popular alternatives (Jellyfish and kmc) for k < 13.
The difference to Jellyfish is large, the difference to kmc is more moderate, but will improve with further development.
