SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR MERGING A NEW NUCLEOTIDE OR AMINO ACID SEQUENCE INTO OPERATIONAL TAXONOMIC UNITS

摘要

The present disclosure provides a method for filtering sequence clusters during a process of merging a newly generated nucleotide or amino acid sequence with a set of previously clustered sequences. In another aspect, the disclosure provides a method for assigning newly generated nucleotide or amino acid sequences to presumptive species called operational taxonomic units. In yet another embodiment, the sequences are derived from the cytochrome c oxidase I gene.
