Step 1: Construct a file containing the unique k-mers specific to the gene of interest.

jellyfish count -m 29 (k-mer size) -s 100M -t 10 -C -L 1 -U 1 -o kmerdb gene.squences.fa 

jellyfish will generate unique k-mers hash file

jellyfish dump kmerdb -o kmerdb.fa  

Convert the binary Hash result into a text file

We provide example unique k-mer files kmerdb.faand sequenceing data test.fq, to help users quickly run.

Step 2: count the unique k-mer in sequenceing data

./scan  ./kmerdb.fa 29 ./test.fq ./out.fq out

The output files will be saved in the current working directory

out.fq      (All reads containing the input k-mer)
out_mer_count.txt   (k-mer counts in sequenceing data)
