The usage presented in the tools in the CD-HIT suite that take nucleotide sequences as input is incorrect. For example, when one calls cd-hit-est (v4.7), there are references to amino acids, e.g.:

   -c	sequence identity threshold, default 0.9
 	this is the default cd-hit's "global sequence identity" calculated as:
 	number of identical amino acids in alignment
 	divided by the full length of the shorter sequence

There are several small inconsistencies throughout the usage; I have made the appropriate fixes to the cdhit-utility.c++ file so that when one calls a nucleotide sequence tool, one sees 'nucleotide' or 'nt,' and when one calls a protein sequence tool, one sees 'amino acid' or 'aa.'

These changes are all cosmetic, but as a user of the tool, I have been confused in the past about which tool I was using, or wanted to use, after reading the usage.

The usage presented in the tools in the CD-HIT suite that take
nucleotide sequences as input is incorrect. For example, when one calls
cd-hit-est (v4.7), there are references to amino acids:

<pre>
   -c	sequence identity threshold, default 0.9
 	this is the default cd-hit's "global sequence identity" calculated as:
 	number of identical <b>amino acids</b> in alignment
 	divided by the full length of the shorter sequence
</pre>

There are several small inconsistencies throughout the usage; I have
fixed them throughout the cdhit-utility.c+++ file.
