IPK is a tool for computing phylo-k-mers for a fixed phylogeny.

IPK takes as input

It yields a database of phylo-k-mers stored in binary file on your hard disk.
This file is a required input for EPIK, SHERPAS, etc.

Keywords

Indexing, k-mers, filtering, phylogenetic placement, metabarcoding, software, database, Divide-and-Conquer

For a detailed description, feel free to read the Open Access publication or to look at a video presentation made during a seminar at IRD.
