  BioBloom Tools assigns reads to different references using bloom filters.

[BioBloom Tools](https://github.com/bcgsc/biobloom/) (BBT) provides the means
to create filters for a given reference and then to categorize sequences.
This methodology is faster than alignment but does not provide mapping locations.
BBT was initially intended to be used for pre-processing and QC applications
like contamination detection, but is flexible to accommodate other purposes.
This tool is intended to be a pipeline component to replace costly alignment steps.
