Bellerophon: A program to detect chimeric sequences in multiple sequence alignments

Journal Article · · Bioinformatics
OSTI ID:834279
Bellerophon is a program for detecting chimeric sequences in multiple sequence datasets by an adaption of partial treeing analysis. Bellerophon was specifically developed to detect 16S rRNA gene chimeras in PCR-clone libraries of environmental samples but can be applied to other nucleotide sequence alignments.
