Global trimming

  
Dereplicates sequences using full-length matching.

Multithreading is supported.

The ‑minseqlength option can be used to specify the minimum sequence length to be included in the output.

The ‑output option is used to specify a FASTA file to contain the unique sequences. Sequences are sorted by decreasing cluster size.

The ‑uc output file is supported, but not other standard output files.

The ‑sizeout option may be used to specify that size annotations are added to the unique sequence labels. The ‑sizein option is not supported. See cluster sizes.

The ‑minuniquesize option may be used to set a minimum size for a cluster; unique sequences with smaller clusters are not included in the output file.

Reverse-complemented dereplication is supported by specifying -strand both (v6.0.290 and later).

The -topn N option specifies that only the largest N clusters will be written to the output file (v6.0.235 or later).

Example

usearch -derep_fulllength input.fasta -output uniques.fasta -sizeout -minseqlength 64
