# kmerresistance(1)

correlates mapped genes with the predicted species of WGS samples

## NAME

kmerresistance - correlates mapped genes with the predicted species of WGS samples

## SYNOPSIS

## DESCRIPTION

KmerResistance correlates mapped genes with the predicted species of WGS samples, where this this allows for identification of genes in samples which have been poorly sequenced or high accuracy predictions for samples with contamination. KmerResistance has one dependency, namely KMA to perform the mapping, which is also freely available.
