Can you explain "probabilistic key-value store?" Would it be that each gene has some defined probability of belonging to a given organism, or is it probabilistic in the sense of having a defined error rate as BFs do?

The latter - probabilistic in the sense of having a defined error rate. In one of our use cases, the keys are simply kmers and the values are organism or gene IDs.
not sure, but would definitely take a look.
