Syncmers are more sensitive than minimizers for selecting conserved k‑mers in biological sequences

@shenwei356 @krsahlin @luizirber @ctitusbrown Thanks pointing out the scaled minhash. This technique has also been coined "mincode/modulo submers" in https://t.co/N32VmBSBdz. The scaled minhash has been compared to syncmers/minimizers in that paper, and open syncmers seem to outperform it in terms of "conservation"
