CD-HIT
CD-HIT is a very widely used program for clustering and comparing protein or nucleotide sequences. Originally developed by Dr. Weizhong Li at Dr. Adam Godzik’s Lab at the Burnham Institute (now Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute), CD-HIT is very fast and can handle extremely large databases. CD-HIT helps to significantly reduce the computational and manual efforts in many sequence analysis tasks and aids in understanding the data structure and correct the bias within a dataset.
