  Description     : pre-filter for querying very large collections of nucleotide sequences
 Raptor is a system for approximately searching many queries such as
 next-generation sequencing reads or transcripts in large collections of
 nucleotide sequences. Raptor uses winnowing minimizers to define a set of
 representative k-mers, an extension of the interleaved Bloom filters (IBFs) as
 a set membership data structure and probabilistic thresholding for minimizers.
 Our approach allows compression and partitioning of the IBF to enable the
 effective use of secondary memory. We test and show the performance and
 limitations of the new features using simulated and real datasets. Our data
 structure can be used to accelerate various core bioinformatics applications.
