Abstract

Multigene and genomic data sets have become commonplace in the field of phylogenetics, but many existing tools are not designed for such data sets, which often makes the analysis time-consuming and tedious. Here, we present PhyloSuite, a (cross-platform, open-source, stand-alone Python graphical user interface) user-friendly workflow desktop platform dedicated to streamlining molecular sequence data management and evolutionary phylogenetics studies. It uses a plugin-based system that integrates several phylogenetic and bioinformatic tools, thereby streamlining the entire procedure, from data acquisition to phylogenetic tree annotation (in combination with iTOL). It has the following features: (a) point-and-click and drag-and-drop graphical user interface; (b) a workplace to manage and organize molecular sequence data and results of analyses; (c) GenBank entry extraction and comparative statistics; and (d) a phylogenetic workflow with batch processing capability, comprising sequence alignment (mafft and macse), alignment optimization (trimAl, HmmCleaner and Gblocks), data set concatenation, best partitioning scheme and best evolutionary model selection (PartitionFinder and modelfinder), and phylogenetic inference (MrBayes and iq-tree). PhyloSuite is designed for both beginners and experienced researchers, allowing the former to quick-start their way into phylogenetic analysis, and the latter to conduct, store and manage their work in a streamlined way, and spend more time investigating scientific questions instead of wasting it on transferring files from one software program to another.

摘要

多基因和基因组数据集在系统发育学领域已经很常见,但许多现有的工具并不是为这些数据集设计的,这往往使得分析既耗时又乏味。在这里,我们介绍 PhyloSuite,这是一个(跨平台、开源、独立的 Python 图形用户界面)用户友好的工作流程桌面平台,专门用于简化分子序列数据管理和进化系统发育学研究。它使用基于插件的系统,集成了几个系统发育和生物信息学工具,从而简化了从数据获取到系统发育树注释(与 iTOL 结合)的整个过程。它具有以下特点:(a) 点击和拖放图形用户界面;(b) 一个工作场所,用于管理和组织分子序列数据和分析结果;(c) GenBank 条目提取和比较统计;以及 (d) 具有批量处理能力的系统发育工作流程,包括序列比对(mafft 和 macse)、比对优化(trimAl、HmmCleaner 和 Gblocks)、数据集拼接、最佳分区方案和最佳进化模型选择(PartitionFinder 和 modelfinder)以及系统发育推断(MrBayes 和 iq-tree)。PhyloSuite 既适合初学者也适合经验丰富的研究人员,让前者能够快速开始系统发育分析,让后者能够以简化的方式进行、存储和管理他们的工作,并将更多时间用于调查科学问题,而不是将时间浪费在将文件从一个软件程序传输到另一个软件程序上。
