The purpose of this repository is to build a simple library that exposes a bit-packed k-mer class for use in rust-based bioinformatics projects. The class implementation is generic over the k-mer length by making use of const generics (which are currently a relatively new feature in rust).
This is meant to be a community project, where I originally attempted to reach out to some potentially interested parties via twitter. If you'd like to help, please feel welcome to contribute!
Currently the minimum supported Rust version is 1.65
