  • Clustering sequences based on sequence similarity

    I have 8000 protein sequences that I want to cluster based on similarity (not identity) and select the longest representative sequence from each cluster. I checked several tools like HiFix, SiliX, ClusTR but could not find the optimal solution. I want to do clustering as like CD-Hit does to reduce dataset but based on sequence similarity rather that sequence identity.

    Perhaps USEARCH or if you want something much more complicated, OrthoMCL..

      So you want to group by functional similarity?
      You can do this based on physio-chemical properties of the amino acids. You translate each amino acid into 5 different metrics and then use Discriminant Analysis of Principle Components to cluster based on these properties.Described here:http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/12/68

      I can provide you with file formats/tips if needs be

        Thanks, it seems interesting and I planned to use it later as currently I am not focused on functional similarity!

            Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
            by seqadmin


            Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
