function mat=quikrTrain(inputfasta,k)
%matrix=QuikrTrain(inputfasta,k) Returns the (sparse) k-mer sensing
%matrix from the FASTA file located at 'inputfasta' for the k-mer size k.
%This serves to retrain the Quikr method. The ouput can then be fed to
%quikrCustomTrained().
%Works for k=1:8 (typically the matrices get too large for k>9)
%The filename for the inputfasta must be the complete path.

%The reason for writing the file to disk first is that Matlab typically
%crashes when unix() returns as many entries as ./probabilities-by-read
%does (on the order of ~2*10^10).
