+ *     This class is a child class of the Database class, which stores the template sequences as a kmer table and provides
+ *     a method of searching the kmer table for the sequence with the most kmers in common with a query sequence.
+ *     kmerLocations is the primary storage variable that is a two-dimensional vector where each row represents the
+ *     different number of kmers and each column contains the index to sequences that use that kmer.
+ *
+ *     Construction of an object of this type will first look for an appropriately named database file and if it is found
+ *     then will read in the database file (readKmerDB), otherwise it will generate one and store the data in memory
+ *     (generateKmerDB)
