Project mention: Feedback on a K-mer counter written in Rust | /r/learnbioinformatics | 2023-06-04

I’m not a bioinformatician, I’m just a software engineer. I made krust because I wanted to learn Rust. I’ve kept working on it and I’m surprised it has as many as 22 stars on GitHub, from people who seem to be in bioinformatics for the most part. So it seems like it’s somewhat interesting/useful. But I don’t know what would make this more/less useful for a specialist.

NOTE: The open source projects on this list are ordered by number of github stars. The number of mentions indicates repo mentiontions in the last 12 Months or since we started tracking (Dec 2020). The latest post mention was on 2024-01-13.
