If there are many, we can include it; if there are few, then it may be better to keep it separate. If it's included in Biopython, I think one of the existing modules could be used, perhaps Bio.Seq or Bio.motifs. Bio.Statistics is not really developed and perhaps should be removed altogether, and Bio.Cluster is about clustering rather than sequence analysis.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1486109163206_5452" dir="ltr"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1486109163206_5276">Best,</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1486109163206_5276">-Michiel</span></div> <div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div style="display: block;" class="yahoo_quoted"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue-Light, Helvetica Neue Light, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2"> On Friday, February 3, 2017 2:14 PM, Alexey Morozov <alexeymorozov1991@gmail.com> wrote:<br></font></div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv9041363396"><div dir="ltr">I've written a little library for k-mer based analyses, and eventually

it, probably in cooperation with folks that made other packages, but I
don't have a slightest idea whether it's gonna be accepted to Biopython.
k-mers are still somewhat obscure, after all. If it is, where, in your
opinion, does it belong? A separate Bio.Kmers module, a submodule of
Bio.Statistics or Bio.Cluster? Something else?<br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div class="yiv9041363396gmail_signature"><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Alexey Morozov,<br>LIN SB RAS, bioinformatics group.<br>Irkutsk, Russia.<br></font></div>
