4. Web server

The CD-HIT web server is available from http://cd-hit.org. All basic functions of CD-HIT are provided through tab-based interfaces in our web server. For CD-HIT and CD-HIT-EST, users can upload a FASTA file, select a desired sequence identity level and other parameters. CD-HIT-2D (CD-HIT-EST-2D) can compare two databases uploaded by users. H-CD-HIT and H-CD-HIT-EST in our server performs hierarchical clustering up to 3 steps.

The current CD-HIT web server is running on a very old server. The server will have to retire soon. An alternative way is to set up a local cd-hit web server, through Docker. More info is available from https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/weizhongli1987/cdhit-server.
