 # String Kernels
 
-This package contains an implementation of the **Polynomial String Kernel** and a linear time **String Kernel** algorithm as described in our paper, [High Resolution Ancestry Deconvolution for Next Generation Genomic Data](https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.09.19.460980v1).
