Figure 4

Add to cluster. A block diagram detailing the process by which sequence s i is added to a cluster, c j ∈ C. A distance, D, is generated between s i and the representative of c j . If D is below a user-specified threshold, T, then s i is added to c j , otherwise the next cluster, cj+1, is checked. If no cluster is identified as suitable for s i , a new cluster containing s i is created and added to C.
