Clarification of hits vs mKmers

[ktashman]

Hi Shen Wei!

Within the search function, can you clarify the definition of "hits" which is defined as "number of matches" in the documentation? How is this different from mKmers?

Thanks,
Kate

• hits -- number of genome matches.
• mKmers -- Number of matched k-mers between the query and the matched genome.
