Mash's first major version increment focuses on a new top level command, screen, which estimates containment within (rather than distance to) a read set for many sketches simultaneously.

Features

  • Screen - A new command that estimates how well sketches are contained
    within a set of reads.
  • Hash seed parameter - The seed of the hash function can now be set with -S. Note that if it is changed from the default (42), any sketches created will not work with older versions of Mash (they will appear to old versions to have no sketches, causing an error or empty output).

Fixes

  • Fix for large sketch files (Issue #16)
  • Fix for multi-threaded sketching (Issue #41)
