BFcounter output

[fznajar]

Hi,
I used BFcounter to get the k-mers frequency. But I cannot open the output file. The information says that the output file is a binary file that can be converted to a tab-delimited file. Any suggestions?

From the README:

BFCounter dump will print a text file with each k-mer and the number of occurrances of the k-mer.
Only counts of 2 and greater will be printed, there is no limit on the number of occurrances it can handle.
For each k-mer only the lexicographically smaller of the k-mer and the reverse complement of the k-mer, will be printed
and the counts will be the sum of both values.

So "BFCounter dump some.file > kmers.txt"

Thanks. It worked.
