C-Hunter is a new clustering algorithm which incorporates knowledge of gene function derived from Gene Ontology (http://www.geneontology.org), with the organization of genes on chromosomes. In order to use C-Hunter, basic data sets are needed. Data sets for eight species (AT,CE,DM,DR,EC,HS,MM & SC), Arabidopsis thaliana, Caenorhabditis eleganas, Danio rerio, Drosophila melanogaster, Escherichia coli, Homo sapiens, Mus musculus and Saccharomyces Cerevisiae are supplied with C-Hunter program together. Instructions and a helper script are included if you want to make your own data set. C-Hunter program can be compiled under the Unix, Linux and Windows (Cygwin) environment.
