Abstract
The present disclosure relates to the use of next generation technologies and analysis using a k-mer based approach which is depth-informed to classify microorganism and estimate abundance in single or mixed microorganismal populations in a rapid manner. The disclosure relates to methods for identifying taxa from environmentally or patient collected samples and processing these samples in a privacy-preserving manner.
