## What can we do?
### 1. Accurate metagenomic profiling
KMCP utilizes genome coverage information by splitting the reference genomes
into chunks and stores k-mers in a modified and optimized [COBS](https://github.com/bingmann/cobs) index for
fast alignment-free sequence searching. KMCP **combines k-mer similarity and
genome coverage information to reduce the false positive rate** of k-mer-based
taxonomic classification and profiling methods.
The read mapping process in KMCP is referred to as **pseudo-mapping**,
which is similar to but different from the lightweight algorithm in Sailfish (Patro et al., 2014),
pseudoalignment in Kallisto (Bray et al., 2016), quasi-mapping in RapMap (Srivastava et al., 2016),
and lightweight mapping in Salmon (Patro et al., 2017). All of these methods seek to elide the
computation of base-to-base alignment using distinct strategies (Srivastava et al., 2016).
*In KMCP, each reference genome is pre-split into chunks of equal size, and the k-mers of a query,
as a whole, are compared to each genome chunk to find all possible ones sharing a predefined
proportion of k-mers with the query*. Like quasi-mapping in RapMap, KMCP tracks the target
and position for each query. However, the read position in KMCP is approximate and in a
predefined resolution (the number of genome chunks).
Benchmarking results based on simulated and real data demonstrate that **KMCP,
despite a longer running time than some other methods,
not only allows the accurate taxonomic profiling of prokaryotic and viral populations
but also provides more confident pathogen detection in clinical samples of low depth**.
***Genome collections with custom taxonomy***,
e.g., [GTDB](https://gtdb.ecogenomic.org/) uses its own taxonomy and
[MGV](https://doi.org/10.1038/s41564-021-00928-6) uses [ICTV taxonomy](https://talk.ictvonline.org/),
are also supported by generating NCBI-style taxdump files with [taxonkit create-taxdump](https://bioinf.shenwei.me/taxonkit/usage/#create-taxdump).
You can even [merge the GTDB taxonomy (for prokaryotic genomes from GTDB) and NCBI taxonomy (for genomes from NCBI)](https://bioinf.shenwei.me/kmcp/database/#merging-gtdb-and-ncbi-taxonomy).
### 2. Fast sequence search against large scales of genomic datasets
KMCP can be used for fast sequence search against large scales of genomic datasets
as [BIGSI](https://github.com/Phelimb/BIGSI) and [COBS](https://github.com/bingmann/cobs) do.
We reimplemented and modified the Compact Bit-Sliced Signature index (COBS) algorithm,
bringing a smaller index size and [much faster searching speed (2x for genome search and 10x for short reads) faster than COBS](https://bioinf.shenwei.me/kmcp/benchmark/searching/#result)
(check the [tutorial](https://bioinf.shenwei.me/kmcp/tutorial/searching) and [benchmark](https://bioinf.shenwei.me/kmcp/benchmark/searching)). Also check [the algorithm and data structure differences between KMCP and COBS](#kmcp-vs-cobs).
### 3. Fast genome similarity estimation
KMCP can also be used for fast similarity estimation of assemblies/genomes against known reference genomes.
Genome sketching is a method of utilizing small and approximate summaries of
genomic data for fast searching and comparison.
[Mash](https://github.com/marbl/Mash) and [Sourmash](https://github.com/sourmash-bio/sourmash)
provide fast genome distance estimation using MinHash (Mash) or FracMinHash (Sourmash).
KMCP supports multiple k-mer sketches
([Minimizer](https://academic.oup.com/bioinformatics/article/20/18/3363/202143),
[FracMinHash](https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.01.11.475838v2)
(previously named [Scaled MinHash](https://f1000research.com/articles/8-1006)), and
[Closed Syncmers](https://peerj.com/articles/10805/)) for genome similarity estimation.
And [KMCP is 5x-7x faster than Mash/Sourmash](https://bioinf.shenwei.me/kmcp/benchmark/searching/#result)
(check the [tutorial](https://bioinf.shenwei.me/kmcp/tutorial/searching) and [benchmark](https://bioinf.shenwei.me/kmcp/benchmark/searching)).
## Features
- **Easy to install**
- [Statically linked executable binaries for multiple platforms](https://bioinf.shenwei.me/kmcp/download) (Linux/Windows/macOS, AMD64/ARM64).
- No dependencies, no configurations.
- `conda install -c bioconda kmcp`
- **Easy to use**
- Supporting [shell autocompletion](https://bioinf.shenwei.me/kmcp/usage/#autocompletion).
- Detailed [usage](https://bioinf.shenwei.me/kmcp/usage), [database](https://bioinf.shenwei.me/kmcp/database),
[tutorials](https://bioinf.shenwei.me/kmcp/tutorial), and [FAQs](https://bioinf.shenwei.me/kmcp/faq).
- **Building database is easy and fast**
- [~25 min for 47894 genomes from GTDB-r202](https://bioinf.shenwei.me/kmcp/benchmark/searching/#kmcp-vs-cobs) on a sever with 40 CPU threads and solid disk drive.
- **Fast searching speed (for sequence/genome search)**
- The index structure is modified from COBS, while [KMCP is 2x-10x faster](https://bioinf.shenwei.me/kmcp/benchmark/searching/#result) in sequence searching.
- Automatically scales to exploit all available CPU cores.
- Searching time is linearly related to the number of reference genomes (chunks).
- **Scalable searching**. *Searching results against multiple databases can be fast merged*.
This brings many benefits:
- *There's no need to re-built the database with newly added reference genomes*.
- The searching step can be parallelized with a computer cluster in which each computation node searches against a small database.
- Computers with limited main memory can also utilize an extensive collection of reference genomes by building and searching against small databases..
- **Accurate taxonomic profiling**
- Some k-mer based taxonomic profilers suffer from high false positive rates,
while [KMCP adopts multiple strategies](https://bioinf.shenwei.me/kmcp/tutorial/profiling/#methods)
to **improve specificity and keeps high sensitivity at the same time**.
- In addition to archaea and bacteria, KMCP performed well on **viruses/phages**.
- KMCP also provides **confident infectious pathogen detection**.
- [Preset six modes for multiple scenarios](https://bioinf.shenwei.me/kmcp/tutorial/profiling/#profiling-modes).
- [Supports CAMI and MetaPhlAn profiling format](https://bioinf.shenwei.me/kmcp/tutorial/profiling/#profiling-result-formats).
- **Flexible support of taxonomy database**
- Taxonomy data, in the format of NCBI taxdump files, are only needed in the profiling step.
Therefore, it is easy to utilize an updated version of taxonomy data.
- GTDB, ICTV and custom taxonomy database are supported by creating taxdump files with [taxonkit create-taxdump](https://bioinf.shenwei.me/taxonkit/usage/#create-taxdump).
- [You can even merge the GTDB taxonomy (for prokaryotic genomes from GTDB) and NCBI taxonomy (for genomes from NCBI)](https://bioinf.shenwei.me/kmcp/database/#merging-gtdb-and-ncbi-taxonomy).
- Profiling without taxonomy data is also supported by setting `--level strain` in `kmcp profile`.
