Protein sequence clustering has been widely exploited to facilitate in-depth analysis of protein functions and families. For some applications of protein sequence clustering, it is highly desirable that a hierarchical structure, also referred to as dendrogram, which shows how proteins are clustered at various levels, is generated. However, as the sizes of contemporary protein databases continue to grow at rapid rates, it is of great interest to develop some summarization mechanisms so that the users can browse the dendrogram and/or search for the desired information more effectively.
