 ### KrakenUniq
 
 [KrakenUniq](https://github.com/fbreitwieser/krakenuniq) (formerly KrakenHLL) is an extension to the fast k-mer-based classification performed by [Kraken](https://github.com/DerrickWood/kraken) with an efficient algorithm for additionally assessing the coverage of unique k-mers found in each species in a dataset.
