CD-HIT is a very widely used program for clustering and comparing protein or nucleotide sequences. CD-HIT was 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.

Examples

>>> from conkit.applications import CdhitCommandline
>>> cdhit_cline = CdhitCommandline()
>>> print(cdhit_cline)

You would typically run the command line with cdhit_cline() or via the subprocess module.
