The manuscript describes HULK, a new bioinformatics tool that implements some useful comparison metrics and operations for analyzing (meta)genomes. HULK is based on a new algorithm called histogram sketching (HistoSketch for short), following the trend of related sketching algorithms (HyperLogLog …
