Hi everyone, can you please explain what is a kmer? And what is kmer distribution? And what is the interest of those kmers? Thanks

Very clearly written and understandable blog post about k-mers.
Had to be CTB's blog! (Well, either that or dzerbino's thesis on velvet)
Sorry I am not good at english so myquestion was very brief, I want to understand way the assembly softwar fragments the reds into small fragments called kmers? It will be more difficult to assembl those small fragments. Thanks
The blog post should help you understand.
What makes you come to this conclusion? Smaller fragments are easier to work with, AFAIK. Even the human eye can discern differences with 5- and 7-mers more easily than with 11- or 13-mers, no?
I dont understand the principle of making kmers. The assembly software fragments itch read into small fragments called kmers and then assembel them? But way the assemby softwar dont assemble the reads directly?
Did you read the blog post?
you need to investigate the using of the de Bruijn graph to explain this.
Certainly, the assembling of genomes using kmers can at least in some cases have certain adventages over the assembling done using the overlapping method
