  my $fam = $fact->run($sio); 
  # print out your clusters

TribeMCL is a method for clustering proteins into related groups, which are termed 'protein families'. This clustering is achieved by analysing similarity patterns between proteins in a given dataset, and using these patterns to assign proteins into related groups. In many cases, proteins in the same protein family will have similar functional properties.

TribeMCL uses a novel clustering method (Markov Clustering or MCL) which solves problems which normally hinder protein sequence clustering.

You will need tribe-matrix (the program used to generate the matrix for input into mcl) and mcl (the clustering software) available at:

  http://www.ebi.ac.uk/research/cgg/tribe/ or
  http://micans.org/mcl/.

Future Work in this module: Port the tribe-matrix program into perl so that we can enable have a SearchIO kinda module for reading and writing mcl data format

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated.
