Hi, I am writing to this list to ask for help with 'beta testing' the latest version of CD-HIT. Weizhong Li recently released a new version, which you can find here... http://bioinformatics.org/project/filelist.php?group_id=350 (its 'cd-hit-2006-0215.tar.gz') If anyone on this list uses (or has used) CD-HIT, they may like to help out on the 'CD-HIT team' (currently me running the website and Weizhong doing everything else!) by testing this release. It would be very helpful if anyone can spare the time to check over this release, and write some general notes on the experience (what went wrong, what was not clear etc. etc.) and post those comments to the mailing list, http://bioinformatics.org/mail/?group_id=350 At the moment any feedback on usage is welcome, as unfortunately I don't have the time to check this version in any detail. More generally, any assistance on the project is most welcome! Once we finish testing we can announce the new release on the BBB, and it would be great to have a big list of people to thank for contributing to such great software. Anyone who wants to be added to the list of developers on the project please just email me your Bioinformatics.Org username! Thanks very much for your time (and support), Dan. P.S. I put a 'test set' of data here; http://ftp.bioinformatics.org/pub/cd-hit/TEST_RESULTS/ and you can find a list of the current bugs here; http://bioinformatics.org/bugs/?group_id=350
