Phylogenetic trees are widely used to visualize evolutionary relationships between different organisms or samples of the same organism. There exists a variety of both free and commercial tree visualization software available, but limitations in these programs often require researchers to use multiple programs for analysis, annotation, and the production of publication-ready images.
We present TreeViewJ, a Java tool for visualizing, editing and analyzing phylogenetic trees. The software allows researchers to color and change the width of branches that they wish to highlight, and add names to nodes. If collection dates are available for taxa, the software can map them onto a timeline, and sort the tree in ascending or descending date order.
TreeViewJ is a tool for researchers to visualize, edit, "decorate," and produce publication-ready images of phylogenetic trees. It is open-source, and released under an GPL license, and available at http://treeviewj.sourceforge.net.
系统发育树被广泛用于可视化不同生物体或同一生物体不同样本之间的进化关系。有多种免费和商业的树状图可视化软件可供使用,但这些程序的局限性常常要求研究人员使用多个程序进行分析、注释以及制作可用于发表的图像。
我们展示了TreeViewJ,这是一个用于可视化、编辑和分析系统发育树的Java工具。该软件允许研究人员对他们希望突出显示的分支进行着色和更改宽度,并为节点添加名称。如果分类单元有收集日期,该软件可以将它们映射到时间轴上,并按日期升序或降序对树进行排序。
TreeViewJ是一个供研究人员用于可视化、编辑、“装饰”系统发育树并生成可用于发表的图像的工具。它是开源的,根据GPL许可发布,可在http://treeviewj.sourceforge.net获取。
