From: RAFTS3G: an efficient and versatile clustering software to analyses in large protein datasets
RAFTS3G pipeline: cut-off criteria to candidates selection and the grouping generation. Initially, RAFTS3G formats the FASTA file into a seeds of BCOM in RAFTS Database. The search for candidates with k-mer scan from RAFTS Database against a FASTA data indexed into Hash BCOM is performed. The candidates are ordered by similarity into a new BCOM matrix which are submitted under a cluster input criteria selection, which may be option 1 -Align n sequences candidates- or option 2 – Binary cut-off sequences search. Clustered sequences are available after the selection where groups are joined and sequences are added or if clustered sequences is not accessible a new group is created
