Description: Distribution-based OTU calling
==============================

*dbotu3* is a new implementation of Sarah Preheim's
`dbOTU <http://aem.asm.org/content/79/21/6593.long>`__ algorithm. The
scope is narrower, the numerical comparisons are faster, and the
interface is more user-friendly.

Read the `documentation <http://dbotu3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`__
for:

- a guide to getting started,
- an explanation of the algorithm, and
- the API reference.

You can also read our new
`manuscript <http://dx.doi.org/10.1101/076927>`__ for more technical
details about the algorithm. The Alm Lab
`website <http://almlab.mit.edu/dbotu3.html>`__ also has a short page
with information.

Installation
------------

dbotu3 is on `PyPi <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dbotu>`__ and can be
installed with pip.

Requirements
------------

- Numpy, SciPy, `BioPython <http://biopython.org>`__,
`Pandas <http://pandas.pydata.org>`__
- `Levenshtein <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-Levenshtein>`__

Version history
---------------

- 1.1: Corrected error where sequence IDs that could be read as
integers would not be found in the table

To-do
-----

- Better coverage for unit tests
