Mash v1.1

Features

• Read sketching
  • Minimum k-mer copy number (-m) for more precise and flexible filtering
    than Bloom filter.
  • Genome size and coverage estimation for improved p-values and optional
    termination at sufficient coverage (-c).
• Parallelism
  • Parallel sketching (-p), if more than one sketch is being created.
  • Parallel distance for all comparisons, not just multiple files.
• Alphabets
  • Amino acid (-a) and arbitrary alphabets (-z).
  • Case sensitivity option (-Z), which allows lowercase masking.
• Information
  • A new bounds command for printing expected accuracy for various
    parameters and distances.
  • K-mer copy number histogram available from mash info (-c) for
    sketches made with this version.
  • Tabular mode (-t) and more header information (-H) for mash info.

Fixes

• Large sketch file crash (Issue #16)
• Large pairwise comparison crash (Issue #18)
