ntHash: recursive nucleotide hashing

We present ntHash, a hashing algorithm tuned for processing DNA/RNA sequences. It performs the best when calculating hash values for adjacent k-mers in an input sequence, operating an order of magnitude faster than the best performing alternatives in typical use cases.
Availability and implementation: ntHash is available online at http://www.bcgsc.ca/platform/bioinfo/software/nthash and is free for academic use.
