The ucs tool reads USEARCH cluster format (UC) files,
which are tab-separated text files commonly used in clustering and database searches.
Each line in a UC file represents a record corresponding to an input sequence,
describing cluster-membership information, alignments, and sequence identities.
For detailed information on the UC format, refer to the USEARCH manual.
Check clustering summary (estimates the number of unique query and target sequences, as well as the number of queries with identical names mapped to multiple targets):
ucs -i test.uc.gz -sExtract mapping results (only Query and Target columns), remove redundant records and duplicates, save results to text file:
ucs -i test.uc.gz -o mappings.txt
