K-mer based comparisons have emerged as powerful complements to BLAST-like alignment algorithms, particularly when the sequences being compared lack direct evolutionary relationships. In this chapter, we describe methods to compare k-mer content between groups of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), to identify communities of lncRNAs with related k-mer contents, to identify the enrichment of protein-binding motifs in lncRNAs, and to scan for domains of related k-mer contents in lncRNAs. Our step-by-step instructions are complemented by Python code deposited in Github. Though our chapter focuses on lncRNAs, the methods we describe could be applied to any set of nucleic acid sequences.
