jMOTU Description
Software for clustering barcode DNA sequence data into molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTU) jMOTU is a free and easy to use software package for clustering barcode DNA sequence data into molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTU). jMOTU can process large datasets and uses a series of filtering steps to minimise the number of exact global alignments that must be performed. When calculating pairwise distances, jMOTU ignores gaps and counts only nucleotide mis-matches, making it relatively robust to sequencing errors caused by homopolymer runs. Clustering is carried out using a greedy algorithm that is not dependent on input sequence order. JMOTU has been tested on raw datasets of around 50,000 input sequences, and can cluster larger datasets by preforming preclustering of subsets of data before combining them for a global analysis.
