NAME

       kmc_tools-union - calculate union of two KMC databases

SYNOPSIS

       kmc_tools union <input1 [input1_params]> <input2 [input2_params]> <output [output_params]>

DESCRIPTION

       The output database will contain all k-mers present in both input sets. For the same
       k-mers in the first and the second input, the counter in the output is equal to the sum
       from both inputs.

OPTIONS

       For each input there are additional parameters:

       -ci<value>
           exclude k-mers occurring less than <value> times

       -cx<value>
           exclude k-mers occurring more of than <value> times

       For output there are additional parameters:

       -ci<value>
           exclude k-mers occurring less than <value> times

       -cx<value>
           exclude k-mers occurring more of than <value> times

       -cs<value>
           maximal value of a counter

EXAMPLE

       kmc -k28 file1.fastq kmers1 tmp kmc -k28 file2.fastq kmers2 tmp kmc_tools union kmers1
       -ci3 -cx70000 kmers2 kmers1_kmers2_union -cs65536
