 # oxli
-k-mers and the like
+
+Author: C. Titus Brown (@ctb), [email protected]
+
+oxli is a simple Rust library + Python interface for counting k-mers
+in genomic sequencing data.
+
+## Installation
+
+You can try building it yourself:
+```
+mamba env create -f environment.yml -n oxli
+make wheel
+```
+and then install the resulting wheel.
+
+We are working on packaging via conda-forge.
+
+## Documentation
+
+Please see [the API documentation](doc/api.md).
+
+## Is there anything I should know about oxli?
+
+Two things -
+
+First, oxli is channeling
+[khmer](https://khmer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), a package written by
+@ctb and many others.  You shouldn't be too surprised to see useful
+functionality from khmer making an appearance in oxli.
+
+Second, it's written on top of the
+[sourmash](https://sourmash.readthedocs.io/)
+[rust library](https://sourmash.readthedocs.io/), and the underlying
+code for dealing with sequence data is pretty well tested.
+
+## What's the history here?
+
+The history is a bit convoluted:
+
+* the khmer package was useful for inspecting large collections of
+  k-mers, but was hard to maintain and evolve.
+
+* in ~2016 @ctb's lab more or less switched over to developing
+  sourmash, which was initially built on a similar tech stack to khmer
+  (Python & C++).
+
+* at some point, @luizirber rewrote the sourmash C++ code into Rust.
+
+* this forced @ctb to learn Rust to maintain sourmash.
+
+* @ctb then decided he liked Rust an awful lot, and missed some of the
+  khmer functionality.
+
+* voila, oxli was born.

+# A simple example of the API
+
+Import necessary modules:
+
+```python
+>>> import screed
+>>> import oxli
+
+```
+
+Create a KmerCountTable with a k-mer size of 31:
+
+```python
+>>> counts = oxli.KmerCountTable(31)
+
+```
+
+Open a FASTA file and consume k-mers from all the sequences within:
+
+```python
+>>> for record in screed.open('example.fa'):
+...    counts.consume(record.sequence)
+349900
+
+```
+
+Get the count of `CGGAGGAAGCAAGAACAAAATATTTTTTCAT` in the data::
+
+```python
+>>> counts.get('CGGAGGAAGCAAGAACAAAATATTTTTTCAT')
+1
+
+```
