NAME

       kmc_tools-kmers_subtract - calculate subtraction of two KMC databases

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       The output database will contains only k-mers that are present in the first input set but
       absent in the second one. The counter value is equal to the value from the first input
       set.

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 kmers_subtract kmers1 kmers2 kmers1_kmers2_subtract -cs200
