MOTIVATION: Substrings of length k, commonly referred to as k-mers, play a vital role in sequence analysis. However, k-mers are limited to exact matches between sequences leading to alternative constructs. We recently introduced a class of new constructs, strobemers, that can match across substitutions and smaller insertions and deletions. Randstrobes, the most sensitive strobemer proposed in [Sahlin, 2021a], has been used in several bioinformatics applications such as read classification, short read mapping, and read overlap detection...
