[khmer] Metagenomics: richness and evenness

[Eric McDonald]

HI Carlos,

I think the partitioning tools in the 'khmer' suite are hypothetically
supposed to produce partitions which match individual species. You could
count the partitions to get an estimate of the richness.

Hope this helps,
  Eric
