This is GSoC2012 fork of 'Mothur'. We are trying to implement a number of 'Feature Selection' algorithms for microbial ecology data and incorporate them into mother's main codebase.
We already have "Reduced Error Pruning" mechanism implemented, if we get time it might be interesting to implement Cost Complexity Pruning to see how that reacts with our type of datas.
