Why does kallisto indexing require odd-length k-mers?
written by ning •I was messing around with kallisto (v0.46.2). When specifying a k-mer length of 10 (*--kmer-size=10*), I got this error: > ```Error: k needs to be …

Can I Compile Velvet For K-Mer Of 201?
written by upendrakumar.devisetty<p>I am trying to compile velvet to go a maximum k-mer length of "201" but velvet doesn't seem to respond to this. I am wondering …
Thanks, so: What is the genome length where each k-mer occurs just once if the kmer size = x. Thats a bit clearer.
This content does not belong in an answer. I have moved it to a comment, but it would seem like it belongs in the question (although I have no idea who you're thanking, given that no one else responded between when you asked the question and posted this "answer")
someone responded and moved their response.
Hmmm this sounds like homework question rather than a real problem lol. But I think kmer's have 0 chance of repeating if the kmer size is equal to the genome size
I reached that conclusion too, but what's the formula you are using in general?
