  Description     : example data for vsearch tool for processing metagenomic sequences
 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.


Remark: Upstream has split the test data which were originally part of
the vsearch package into a separate source.  To be able to run the
unit tests and verify the functionality of vsearch the data are now
in a separate source package.  It will be maintaines by the Debian Med
team at
  Vcs-Svn: svn://anonscm.debian.org/debian-med/trunk/packages/vsearch-data/trunk/
