Overview

In this project, we have tried to develop the kraken article with C++ language in more simple way and it can run Linux and Mac OS.

Kraken is a system for assigning taxonomic labels to short DNA sequences, usually obtained through metagenomic studies. Previous attempts by other bioinformatics software to accomplish this task have often used sequence alignment or machine learning techniques that were quite slow, leading to the development of less sensitive but much faster abundance estimation programs. Kraken aims to achieve high sensitivity and high speed by utilizing exact alignments of k-mers and a novel classification algorithm.

Installation

if you want use this package, you should install Jellyfish package and g++ version 11 or higher.

Usage

Instruction of use are available in the doc directory.
