Open and free 64-bit multithreaded tool for processing metagenomic sequences, including searching, clustering, chimera detection, dereplication, sorting, masking and shuffling

the aim of this project is to create an alternative to the usearch tool developed by robert c. edgar (2010). the new tool should:

- have open source code with an appropriate open source license
- be free of charge, gratis
- have a 64-bit design that handles very large databases and much more
than 4gb of memory
- be as accurate or more accurate than usearch
- be as fast or faster than usearch
this package only contains data to run the vsearch test suite.
