density plots #140

Open fjruizruano opened 4 years ago

Hi all,

I am trying to compare kmer content between two different genomes with this commands:

kat comp -n -t 10 -o comparison 'library1?.fastq' 'library2?.fastq' kat plot spectra-mx -i -o comparison.png comparison-main.mx

I got a density plot with four lines (exclusive dataset1, exclusive dataset2, shared dataset1, shared dataset2). The label for X-axis is "k-mer multiplicity", but I found in the KAT manual a simiar plot with "kmer frequency" instead. This latter was generated with: kat_distanalysis.py --plot spectra-cn.mx.

I would like to know if in this context "k-mer multiplicity" are the same or different parameters.

Thanks in advance. Cheers.
