OTU clustering

The OTU clustering tool clusters a collection of fixed length trimmed reads to operational taxonomy units.

To run the tool, go to Toolbox | Microbial Genomics Module (Image mgm_folder_closed_flat_16_h_p) | OTU clustering (Image otutools_open_16_n_p) | OTU clustering (Image OTU_clustering_16_n_p).

The OTU clustering tool produces several outputs: a sequence list of the OTU centroids and/or of the Chimeras, and abundance tables with the newly created OTUs and/or the chimeras. Each table give abundance of the OTU or chimeras at each site, as well as the total abundance for all samples.
