wcd was written after a very productive visit to the South African
National Bioinformatics Institute (SANBI). SANBI introduced me to the
problem and as we needed to have a d2 clustering program for our
research, I wrote one. Many people helped but thanks particularly to
Winston Hide for alpha and beta testing of the code as well as some very
detailed biological analysis. Peter van Heusden was responsbile for
significant testing as well as integrating into StackPack.
Ramon Nogueria was responsible for the development of the acd files and wrapper for the EMBOSS implementation. Richard Starfield worked on the Pthreads implementation.
Zsuzsanna Lipták, now at the University of Bielefeld introduced the maths and the algorithms to me, and made sure I knew what I was doing. She also helped me refine the algorithmic innovations in this version of d2 cluster and made several useful suggestions.
Anton Bergheim and Pravesh Ranchod at Wits also gave valuable feedback.
Research grants from the National Bioinformatics Network and the National Research Foundation supported this work.
All the above helped with alpha testing.
