Description: # BitQT
        > A Graph-Based Approach to the  Quality Threshold Clustering of Molecular Dynamics
        
        BitQT is a Python command-line interface (CLI) conceived to speed up
        the Heyer’s Quality Threshold (QT) clustering [1] of long Molecular Dynamics. The package implements a heuristic approach to [this exact variant of QT](https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jcim.9b00558).
        
        ## BitQT Home Page
        
        BitQT’s latest documentation, including usage examples, tutorials, benchmarks, etc., is available [here](https://bitqt.readthedocs.io).  
        
        
        ## Installation
        
        There are some easy-to-install dependencies you must have before running BitQT. MDTraj (mandatory) will perform the heavy RMSD calculations, while VMD (optional) will help with visualization tasks. The rest of the dependencies (listed below) will be automatically managed by BitQT.
        
        
        #### 1. **MDTraj**
        
        It is recommended that you install __MDTraj__ using conda.
        
        `conda install -c conda-forge mdtraj`
        
        #### 2. **BitQT**
        
        + __Via **pip**__
        
        
        After successfully installing __MDTraj__, you can easily install BitQT and the rest of its dependencies using pip.
        
        `pip install bitqt`
        
        
        + __Via **GitHub**__
        
        ```
        git clone https://github.com/LQCT/bitqt
        cd bitqt
        python setup.py install
        ```
        Then, you should be able to see BitQT help by typing in a console:
        
        `bitqt -h`
        
        
        #### 3. **VMD** and **VMD clustering plugin** (optional)
        
        BitQT clusters can be visualized by loading a **.log**  file in VMD via a clustering plugin.
        Please see the [VMD visualization tutorial](https://bitqt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial.html#visualizing-clusters-in-vmd) in the BitQT documentation web page.
        
        The official site for VMD download and installation can be found [here](https://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Development/Download/download.cgi?PackageName=VMD>).
        
        Instructions on how to install the clustering plugin of VMD are available [here](https://github.com/luisico/clustering).
        
        
        ## Basic Usage
        You can display the primary usage of BitQT by typing  ` bitclust -h` in the command line.
        
        ```
        $ bitclust -h
        
        usage: bitqt -traj trajectory [options]

        Dynamics
        
        optional arguments:
          -h, --help           show this help message and exit
        
        Trajectory options:
          -traj trajectory     Path to trajectory file [required]
          -top topology        Path to the topology file
          -first first_frame   First frame to analyze (counting from 0) [default: 0]
          -last last_frame     Last frame to analyze (counting from 0) [default: last
                               frame]
          -stride stride       Stride of frames to analyze [default: 1]
          -sel selection       Atom selection (MDTraj syntax) [default: all]
        
        Clustering options:
          -cutoff k            RMSD cutoff [default: 2]
          -min_clust_size m    Minimum size of returned clusters [default: 2]
          -nclust n            Number of clusters to retrieve [default: 2]
        
        Output options:
          -odir bitQT_outputs  Output directory to store analysis [default:
                               bitQT_outputs]
        ```
        
        In the example folder, you can find a topology and trajectory files to run a bitqt test.
        Type the next command in the console and check if you can reproduce the content of the examples/output directory:
        
        ```bitqt -traj aligned_original_tau_6K.dcd -top aligned_tau.pdb -cutoff 4 -odir outputs```
