+## What is Quikr ##
+Quikr is a QUadratic, Iterative, K-mer based Reconstruction technique that
+utilizes sparsity promoting ideas from the field of compressed sensing to
+reconstruct the composition of a bacterial community (when the input data is
+454-like pyrosequencing data). This extremely fast method comes with a default
+training database but can be custom trained. Typically reconstruction is
+accurate down to the genus level.
