K-mer-based Polishing

K-Mer-Based Polishing is a computational method in genome assembly refinement that leverages the frequency and adjacency patterns of fixed-length nucleotide subsequences (k-mers) to identify and correct sequencing errors, resolve misassemblies, and improve the accuracy of assembled genomic regions.
