Is there a command to output the kmers of each sequence in a multifasta file?

Trouble parsing header
Dear BBMap team:
I tried to use filterbytile.sh to remove the reads with low quality, but I encountered an error message saying that there was a trouble parsing the header. I've read the description of the script and Brian Bushnell said that was possible when the reads were renamed (such as in SRA) and to contact him if such error happened.
I downloaded the sequencing data (SRA) from ncbi and used fastq-dump to get the fastq files. I wonder if there is a solution to this?
Thank you very much!

BBsketch alltoall is incomplete
Can I ask a question about bbsketch?
I want to compare the ANI between many genomes (1000+) to each other.
I did
The log files seem correct:Code:bbsketch.sh perfile genome_folder/*.fasta out=sketch.gz k=31,24 threads=16 comparesketch.sh alltoall sketch.gz k=31,24 prealloc=0.75 format=3 threads=16 out=table.tsv
Code:Set threads to 16 Loading sketches. Loaded 1157 sketches in 59.541 seconds. Total Time: 59.784 seconds.
In the final output, I'm missing some genome comparisons (which I get with mash). If I run bbsketch on a subset I get the expected comparisons.Code:Set threads to 16 Loading sketches. Executing kmer.KmerTableSet [ways=31, tabletype=10, prealloc=0.75] Initial size set to 45218398 Initial: Ways=31, initialSize=45218398, prefilter=f, prealloc=0.75 Memory: max=91268m, total=91268m, free=90848m, used=420m 3.713 seconds. Indexed 2880884 unique and 10513099 total hashcodes. Loaded 1157 sketches in 8.457 seconds. Ran 1225005 comparisons in 9.344 seconds. Total Time: 17.801 seconds.
- Genomes are highly similar.
#Query Ref ANI QSize RefSize QBases RBases QTaxID RTaxID KID WKID SSU
genome1.fasta genome2.fasta 94.223 1984118 1796930 1987598 1797650 -1 -1 24.952 27.523 .
- It is not simply due to the naming: I neither find "genome1 vs genome2" nor "genome 2 vs genome1"
Any idea?

I'm trying to use BBmap to find all perfect hits or hits with an indel length 1.
I'm running a control experiment where I have a subsequence to a larger sequence in the reference. I can find the subsequence in the reference if it's an exact match. However, if I add an indel in either the subsequence or reference, BBmap is unable to map the reference. I thought by setting strictmaxindel to 1, it should be able to report an alignment with a single indel. I've tried setting strictmaxindel to 10 and it still doesn't find the alignment.Code:bbmapskinner.sh in=kmer.fasta out=result.sam ambiguous=all strictmaxindel=1
Is there something that I am doing wrong?

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.

Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.
Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...-
