Description
Dendroscope
Dendroscope is a cool tool that helps you look at big phylogenetic trees and networks. These can come from databases that have tons of taxa—think hundreds of thousands! The folks who made it say it’s super easy to edit, so you can change the trees however you like. Plus, browsing through everything is pretty simple and interactive.
Why Dendroscope Was Created
So, why do we even need this tool? Well, many biology studies use trees to show different events in evolutionary history. This can include things like horizontal gene transfer or hybridization. But here’s the catch: phylogenetic networks haven’t been as popular because there weren’t good tools to help scientists analyze all that data.
Cool Features of Dendroscope
One of the best things about Dendroscope is that it lets you display multiple trees and networks all from one file! It uses an m by n grid for this. You can even highlight subtrees with colors or collapse them if needed. Plus, you can reroot trees and zoom in for a closer look with its magnifying features!
Different Views and Export Options
This application supports seven types of views: radial, circular, rectangular, slanted—you name it! When you're done creating your tree or network, you can easily export it as a PDF, SVG, PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, or EPS file. And don’t worry about labels; Dendroscope makes editing them a breeze! You can also copy and paste objects between different windows.
