This extremely fast method comes with a default +training database but can be custom trained. Typically reconstruction is +accurate down to the genus level. + + +## How Do I Install Quikr ## +Please read the directions on the [installation page](install.markdown). + +## How Do I use Quikr ## +We have several ways to use quikr. Quikr is first and formost a command +line utility, but we also provide python and matlab scripts. + ++ [Command Line Utilities](cli.markdown) ++ [Matlab documentation](matlab.markdown) ++ [Python documentation](python.markdown) + +## Contact ## +For issues with the quikr software, contact gailro@gmail.com + +## Contributors ## ++ David Koslicki ++ Simon Foucart ++ Gail Rosen ++ Calvin Morrison ++ Jean-Luc Bouchot |
