A bit-packed k-mer representation (and relevant utilities) for rust

K-mer class for rust

The purpose of this repository is to build a simple library that exposes a bit-packed k-mer class for use in rust-based bioinformatics projects. The class implementation is generic over the k-mer length by making use of const generics (which are currently a relatively new feature in rust).
