C. Titus Brown <titus@idyll.org> wrote the initial Bloom filter and Count-Min Sketch implementations, has contributed to their continued improvement and refactoring, and has contributed extensively to feature development and code review throughout the codebase more generally.
Jason Pell implemented many of the C++ k-mer filtering functions.
Qingpeng contributed code to do unique k-mer counting.
Adina Howe, Rosangela Canino-Koning, and Arend Hintze contributed significantly to discussions of approaches and algorithms; Adina wrote a number of scripts.
Jared T. Simpson (University of Cambridge, Sanger Institute) contributed paired-end support for digital normalization.
Eric McDonald thoroughly revised many aspects of the code base, made much of the codebase thread safe, and otherwise improved performance dramatically.
Michael R. Crusoe took over maintainership in June 2013, streamlining and improving many of khmer’s development, deployment, and community processes.
