Hi,
I am looking for a tool to do protein clustering. My aim is,
given a set
of protein sequences, I want an output which is sorted according to
their distance from each other. Basically, clustering as 1 whole cluster
(not according to their families). The basic idea is by using pairwise
alignment between all the sequences, sequences with minimum distance will be
assigned first and then progressively aligning the sequences on either side
depending upon the distance in the pairwise alignment score. This is basically
using Taylor's method or some other hierarchical clustering strategy. So for a given
set of input sequences, a matrix will be constructed initially with their
pairwise alignment scores and then constructing sequences from minimum
distance and adding the rest of the sequences progessively. If some one can
suggest some tool to perform this sequence ordering, it would be more timely help
for me.
Thanks.
Regards Lavi
