Visualizing Restricted Landscapes of Phylogenetic Trees
نویسنده
چکیده
We are designing tools to visualize very large sets of phylogenetic trees. Our tools give a three dimesional representation of treespace, with two dimensions representing the clustering of trees under multidimensional scaling, and the third dimension (the “height”) the score of the tree (i.e. parsimony or maximum likelihood score). The user can rotate the resulting distribution to get a sense of the threedimensional structure. This is implemented as part of the Mesquite system for phylogenetic analysis.

Shapes of tree representations of spin-glass landscapes
Much of the information about the multi-valley structure of disordered spin systems can be convened in a simple tree structure – a barrier tree – the leaves and internal nodes of which represent, respectively, the local minima and the lowest energy saddles connecting those minima. Here we apply several statistics used in the study of phylogenetic trees to barrier trees that result from the ener...
متن کاملPhylogenetic trees: visualizing, customizing and detecting incongruence
SUMMARY TreeIllustrator is a user-friendly application to visualize and customize phylogenetic trees. It has a broad range of functions and capabilities, such as dragging of nodes, different tree shapes, zooming and searching capabilities, and support for large trees. It acts as a solution that integrates the specificity of visualizing phylogenetic trees and the customization options of a drawi...
متن کاملTopo-phylogeny: Visualizing evolutionary relationships on a topographic landscape
Phylogenetic trees are the de facto standard for visualizing evolutionary relationships, but large trees can be difficult to interpret because they require a high cognitive load to identify relationships between multiple operational taxonomic units (OTUs). We present a new tool for displaying phylogenetic relationships as a topographic map in which OTUs autonomously attract or repel one another...

متن کاملEvolView, an online tool for visualizing, annotating and managing phylogenetic trees
EvolView is a web application for visualizing, annotating and managing phylogenetic trees. First, EvolView is a phylogenetic tree viewer and customization tool; it visualizes trees in various formats, customizes them through built-in functions that can link information from external datasets, and exports the customized results to publication-ready figures. Second, EvolView is a tree and dataset...
