**Mothur Overview**

Mothur_, initiated by Dr. Patrick Schloss and his software development team
in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at The University of Michigan,
provides bioinformatics for the microbial ecology community.

**Command Documenation**

The pre.cluster_ command implements a pseudo-single linkage algorithm with the goal of removing sequences that are likely due to pyrosequencing errors. The basic idea is that abundant sequences are more likely to generate erroneous sequences than rare sequences. With that in mind, the algorithm proceeds by ranking sequences in order of their abundance. Then we walk through the list of sequences looking for rarer sequences that are within some threshold of the original sequence. Those that are within the threshold are merged with the larger sequence. The original Huse method performs this task on a distance matrix, whereas we do it based on the original sequences. The advantage of our approach is that the algorithm works on aligned sequences instead of a distance matrix. This is advantageous because by pre-clustering you remove a large number of sequences making the distance calculation much faster.
