Interactive visualization software for exploring phylogenetic trees and clades
نویسنده
چکیده
UNLABELLED The Summary Tree Explorer (STE) is a Java application for interactively exploring sets of phylogenetic trees using two coupled representations: a node-and-link diagram and a textual list of common clades. Selection, pruning, filtering or re-rooting in one representation is immediately reflected in the other. While summary trees are more effective at showing the relationship among clades, they can only show a consistent subset of those that appear in the textual list. Working with both representations mitigates the disadvantages of having to choose just one. AVAILABILITY STE, along with several sample datasets, is available at http://cityscape.inf.cs.cmu.edu/phylogeny/

Exploring hierarchical visualization designs using phylogenetic trees
Ongoing research on information visualization has produced an ever-increasing number of visualization designs. Despite this activity, limited progress has been made in categorizing this large number of information visualizations. This makes understanding their common design features challenging, and obscures the yet unexplored areas of novel designs. With this work, we provide categorization fr...
متن کاملPhyloGeoTool: interactively exploring large phylogenies in an epidemiological context
Motivation Clinicians, health officials and researchers are interested in the epidemic spread of pathogens in both space and time to support the optimization of intervention measures and public health policies. Large sequence databases of virus sequences provide an interesting opportunity to study this spread through phylogenetic analysis. To infer knowledge from large phylogenetic trees, poten...
متن کاملA Linear-Time Majority Tree Algorithm
We give a randomized linear-time algorithm for computing the majority rule consensus tree. The majority rule tree is widely used for summarizing a set of phylogenetic trees, which is usually a postprocessing step in constructing a phylogeny. We are implementing the algorithm as part of an interactive visualization system for exploring distributions of trees, where speed is a serious concern for...
متن کاملExploring Statistical Forests
Trees are a valuable way of displaying structure in datasets, especially for classification problems. Improved classification results can be achieved using forests of trees. Adding various visualization methods and interactive tools for analysis of individual trees and of whole forests gives complementary insight into the data. This paper describes different views and methods to analyze tree fo...
متن کاملIcyTree: rapid browser-based visualization for phylogenetic trees and networks
Summary IcyTree is an easy-to-use application which can be used to visualize a wide variety of phylogenetic trees and networks. While numerous phylogenetic tree viewers exist already, IcyTree distinguishes itself by being a purely online tool, having a responsive user interface, supporting phylogenetic networks (ancestral recombination graphs in particular), and efficiently drawing trees that i...
