title: 'sitePath: Phylogeny-based sequence clustering with site polymorphism'
version: 1.28.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.sitePath
abstract: Using site polymorphism is one of the ways to cluster DNA/protein sequences
  but it is possible for the sequences with the same polymorphism on a single site
  to be genetically distant. This package is aimed at clustering sequences using site
  polymorphism and their corresponding phylogenetic trees. By considering their location
  on the tree, only the structurally adjacent sequences will be clustered. However,
  the adjacent sequences may not necessarily have the same polymorphism. So a branch-and-bound
  like algorithm is used to minimize the entropy representing the purity of site polymorphism
  of each cluster.
