This tool has been developed to be adapted to the type of data generated by DNA metabarcoding, i.e. entirely sequenced, short markers. +**Sumaclust** clusters sequences using the same clustering algorithm as **UCLUST** and **CD-HIT**. This algorithm is mainly useful to detect the 'erroneous' sequences created during amplification and sequencing protocols, deriving from 'true' sequences. +Currently, **Sumaclust** is available as a program that you can download and install on Unix-like machines. + ## Installing Sumaclust Download the archive on this page, then untar it, go into the newly created directory and compile: @@ -6,10 +12,14 @@ Download the archive on this page, then untar it, go into the newly created dire cd sumaclust_v[x.x.xx] make -You can compile **sumaclust** with **clang**, which deactivates **OpenMP**, with: +You can compile **Sumaclust** with **clang**, which deactivates **OpenMP**, with: make CC=clang -See the user manual included in the archive for a complete documentation. +See the user manual downloadable from this page and included in the archive for a complete documentation. -[sumaclust_v1.0.03.tar.gz](https://git.metabarcoding.org/obitools/sumaclust/uploads/aef291a0f2ca22d09a87f8c381ba11d8/sumaclust_v1.0.03.tar.gz) +## See also + +[**Sumatra**](https://git.metabarcoding.org/obitools/sumatra/wikis/home/) compares sequences using the same alignment methods as **Sumaclust**. + +[sumaclust_v1.0.03.tar.gz](https://git.metabarcoding.org/obitools/sumaclust/uploads/aef291a0f2ca22d09a87f8c381ba11d8/sumaclust_v1.0.03.tar.gz) \ No newline at end of file
