A hybrid distance measure for clustering expressed sequence tags originating from the same gene family.

BACKGROUND: Clustering is a key step in the processing of Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs). The primary goal of clustering is to put ESTs from the same transcript of a single gene into a unique cluster. Recent EST clustering algorithms mostly adopt the alignment-free distance measures, where they tend...
