Phylo.io:在网络上交互查看和比较大型系统发育树

Phylo.io: interactive viewing and comparison of large phylogenetic trees on the web

Oscar Robinson, David Dylus, Christophe Dessimoz

摘要:

系统发育树广泛用于描述进化关系。越来越多的研究人员需要将大树可视化,并比较同一组分类群推断的多棵大树(反映了树木推断的不确定性或分析的基因座之间的真正不一致性)。然而,现有的树可视化工具不太适合这些任务。特别是,并排比较树木可以证明具有挑战性的几十个类群之外。在这里,我们介绍了Phylo.io,一个Web应用程序来可视化和比较系统发育树并排。其显著特点是:突出显示两棵树之间的相似性和差异,自动识别最佳匹配的根和叶顺序,可扩展到非常大的树,高可用性,通过标准HTML5实现的多平台支持,以及存储和共享可视化的可能性。该工具可以在http://phylo.io上免费访问。相关的JavaScript库的代码可以在https://github.com/DessimozLab/phylo-io上获得,并获得MIT开源许可证。

英文摘要:

Phylogenetic trees are pervasively used to depict evolutionary relationships. Increasingly, researchers need to visualize large trees and compare multiple large trees inferred for the same set of taxa (reflecting uncertainty in the tree inference or genuine discordance among the loci analysed). Existing tree visualization tools are however not well suited to these tasks. In particular, side-by-side comparison of trees can prove challenging beyond a few dozen taxa. Here, we introduce Phylo.io, a web application to visualize and compare phylogenetic trees side-by-side. Its distinctive features are: highlighting of similarities and differences between two trees, automatic identification of the best matching rooting and leaf order, scalability to very large trees, high usability, multiplatform support via standard HTML5 implementation, and possibility to store and share visualisations. The tool can be freely accessed at http://phylo.io. The code for the associated JavaScript library is available at https://github.com/DessimozLab/phylo-io under an MIT open source license.
