Matt Ralston

M.Sc. Bioinfo + 5 years industry exp. - - - Looking for a position in biosciences. I'm gifted at the command line or computer terminal, but I perform best on my feet, standups, cleaning, guitar with samples in the centrifuge, more in the water bath, data being processed on the computer while I sleep, and other assays to plan. Currently writing a DNA sequence graph algorithm and manuscript (for bioRxiv). I play math rock on my guitar, I have some open-source software on GitHub, I pay my bills in the DE-NJ-PA tri-state area near Delco, and I'm launching a DE-based LLC for Univ. of Delaware and local NGS sequencing projects.

kmer.js

kmer.js is a NodeJS package designed for data/science applications. It addresses the ‘k-mer’ problem(substrings of length from a string) in a simple and performant manner. This library produces all of the n - k + 1 substrings of length k from a string of length n.

It can read .fasta or .fastq input by using bionode-fasta (for fastq, use my fastqparser.js library).
