title: 'rchime: Detect and Remove Chimeras from Amplicon Sequence Analysis Data'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: Detect and remove chimeras from your amplicon sequence analysis using reference-based
  or de novo approaches. The 'rchime' package implements the 'VSEARCH' algorithms
  described in Rognes et al. (2016) <https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.2584>. 'VSEARCH'
  builds on the work of Edgar,R.C. et al. (2011) <https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btr381>.
