NAME

       kmc_tools-counters_subtract - calculate counters subtraction of two KMC databases

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       The output database will contain only k-mers that are present in the first input set and
       have counters higher than the appropriate k-mers in the second set. For each k-mer the
       counter is equal to the difference between the counter in the first set and the counter in
       the second 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
