This release resolves some long standing bugs and adds support for searching against the ClusteredNR database. What's Changed Initial support for searches against the ClusteredNR database (NR database clustered at 90% identity). To enable, specify nr_cluster_seq as a database when performing remote mode searches, e.g.: cblaster search -qf query.fasta -m remote -db nr_cluster_seq. This should give significantly faster remote searches compared to the regular NR database (which remains the default). Note that query sequences are only searched against NR cluster representative sequences; clusters are then expanded to include other sequences in the cluster, and hit data (identity, coverage, evalue, bitscore) for all member sequences are taken from the representative hit.
