I do not see why it has to be an odd number.
Perhaps with a simple example.

I allready had that idea.
The odd numbered lenght kmers sounds logical! Good you told me, I would not have figured that out myself I think.

For example, if you had a read that was 50 bp long, and wanted to use k-mers of length 47, then you would get 50-47+1=4 kmers from your read.
The first kmer would be bases 1-47 of the read, the second kmer would be bases 2-48 of the read, the third kmer bases 3-49 and the fourth one bases 4-50, assuming you were also using a step size of 1.
Are you doing de novo assembly?
It also said: Typically, K = 17.
So I guess they use 17 as a stanard length.
I am not doing it myself, we are doing it with the help of a company that does it for us.
But indeed, the goal is a de novo assembly.

Question in terminology
Dear all,
I received a file with some explenation about a sequence, however there is something I dont understand.
"A K-mer refers to an artificial sequence division of K nucleotides. A raw sequencing read with L bp contains (L-K+1) K-mers if the length of each K-mer is K bp. The frequency of each K-mer can be calculated from the raw genome sequencing reads"
I know what a K-mer is, but where do they get the L bp from?
What is this L bp?

The complexity of cancer is clearly demonstrated in the diverse ecosystem of the tumor microenvironment (TME). The TME is made up of numerous cell types and its development begins with the changes that happen during oncogenesis. “Genomic mutations, copy number changes, epigenetic alterations, and alternative gene expression occur to varying degrees within the affected tumor cells,” explained Andrea O’Hara, Ph.D., Strategic Technical Specialist at Azenta. “As...-
