Binary package “swarm” in ubuntu xenial
robust and fast clustering method for amplicon-based studies
The purpose of swarm is to provide a novel clustering algorithm to handle large
sets of amplicons. Traditional clustering algorithms results are strongly
input-order dependent, and rely on an arbitrary global clustering threshold.
swarm results are resilient to input-order changes and rely on a small local
linking threshold d, the maximum number of differences between two amplicons.
swarm forms stable high-resolution clusters, with a high yield of biological
information.
