pySAPC, a python package for sparse affinity propagation clustering: Application to odontogenesis whole genome time series gene-expression data

By using sparse similarity matrix, pySAPC use much less memory and CPU time compared with the original affinity propagation program that uses a full similarity matrix. This python package will be useful for many applications where dataset(s) are too large to use full similarity matrix.
