Purpose: This protocol shows how to cluster on arbitrary bit strings that have been derived independently of Pipeline Pilot. In this simple protocol, the bit strings represent an 8-bit space, and the strings are 8-character strings where each character is 0 or 1. The "convert bit string" component parses these strings into BitFingerprint arrays, where they can then be used as any native Pipeline Pilot fingerprint. In this example, they are used to cluster data.
