  • Can OrthoMCL be used to cluster RNA sequences?

    I was thinking of using OrthoMCL to cluster RNA sequences. Does anybody know whether it is OK? Thanks!

    As far as I know, orthoMCL uses a set of protein sequences as input. So orthoMCL will not work with RNA (cDNA) sequences directly (but would after translating them into protein sequences).
    In any case, homology/orthology assessment is much more powerful for protein sequences than for DNA sequences.
