}DivergentSet addresses the important but so far neglected bioinformatics task of choosing a representative set of sequences from a larger collection. We found that using a phylogenetic tree to guide the construction of divergent sets of sequences can be up to 2 orders of magnitude faster than the naive method of using a full distance matrix. By providing a user-friendly interface (available online) that integrates the tasks of finding additional sequences, building and refining the divergent… CONTINUE READING
