Abstract

We present a fast and flexible program for clustering large protein databases at different sequence identity levels. It takes less than 2 h for the all-against-all sequence comparison and clustering of the non-redundant protein database of over 560,000 sequences on a high-end PC. The output database, including only the representative sequences, can be used for more efficient and sensitive database searches.
