It is packaged as a command-line scientific tool rather than a general developer utility. ### Projektgeschichte The README identifies Gene Myers as author, gives July 22, 2020 as the first date, and documents FastK as a k-mer counter optimized for high-quality assembly datasets. Its command suite includes FastK itself plus utilities for moving, merging, concatenating, inspecting, and mapping FastK output files. ### Adoptionsgeschichte FastK's public footprint is niche and bioinformatics-specific. Its adoption signal is strongest in packaging and genomics workflows that need efficient k-mer histograms, tables, and profiles for large sequencing data rather than in broad developer communities. ### Wie es verwendet wird FastK consumes CRAM, BAM, SAM, FASTA, FASTQ, gzip-compressed sequence files, and Dazzler databases, producing histograms, sorted k-mer/count tables, and optional sequence profiles. The README emphasizes low-memory operation, temporary disk usage, multithreading, and HPC workflows such as splitting data and merging tables. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren For package nerds, FastK is interesting because it is a domain-heavy command suite where filesystem layout is part of the interface: stub files, hidden sidecar files, table/profile extensions, and companion commands such as Fastrm and Fastmerge all have to be packaged together correctly. ### Zeitleiste - 2020: README records the first FastK date as July 22, 2020. - 2020: GitHub repository created on October 19, 2020. - 2021: README current date records April 18, 2021. ### Related projects - KMC3 is named in the README as a performance comparison point. - DAZZ_DB is supported as an input format. - merfin is named as a downstream use case for relative k-mer profiles. ### Quellen - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** fastk - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Verwandte Links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Scientific computing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/scientific-computing-tools/) - Matched scientific computing metadata. - [xz](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/xz/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [jellyfish](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/jellyfish/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bioinformatics, cli, genomics, k-mer, science. - [abricate](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/abricate/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bioinformatics, cli, genomics, science. - [bbtools](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/bbtools/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bioinformatics, cli, genomics, science. - [bioperl](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/bioperl/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bioinformatics, cli, genomics, science. - [blast](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/blast/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bioinformatics, cli, genomics, science. - [bowtie2](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/bowtie2/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bioinformatics, cli, genomics, science. - [breseq](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/breseq/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bioinformatics, cli, genomics, science. - [echtvar](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/echtvar/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bioinformatics, cli, genomics, science. - [tabixpp](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/tabixpp/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
