Portable software related to Mersenne numbers. Useful to automate certain tasks related to GIMPS (www.mersenne.org) for computers that cannot run the GIMPS software for whatever reason. Much of the code has been in use since 1990 or so by a few people. The project web site at https://mers.sourceforge.io/mersenne.html has data about Mersenne numbers from many people generated by this and other software, notably from the GIMPS project.

UniversalMer is a k-mer counting tool for multiple size of k at once. It is available for DNA, RNA, and protein sequences. The program counts and summarizes the exact frequency of all k-mers from 1-mer to a user-defined maximum length (kmax). Analyzing the k-mer spectrum across multiple values of k can be done in seconds. This program is designed for bioinformatics researchers and scientists.

KAnalyze is a Java toolkit designed to convert DNA and RNA sequences into k-mers. It is both a command line application and an API.

Ferox is a DNA sequence alignment application that uses fuzzy k-mers to quickly and accurately align sets of sequence reads against a reference genome. Ferox can also be used to align whole genomes. The seeding mechanism used by Ferox is highly configurable, allowing custom fuzzy seeds to be created declaratively in an XML configuration file.
