Information content versus data volume and k-mer counting accuracy

Keeping track of k-mers for simple operations has become a fundamental component of many bioinformatics techniques. Two common operations on k-mers include set membership queries ("is k-mer X present in data set Y?") and abundance queries ("how many times does k-mer X occur in data set Y"). Several probabilistic data structures have been developed to support …
