The Interactive Tree Of Life (https://itol.embl.de) is an online tool for the management, display, annotation and manipulation of phylogenetic and other trees. It is freely available and open to everyone. iTOL version 6 introduces a modernized and completely rewritten user interface, together with numerous new features. A new dataset type has been introduced (colored/labeled ranges), greatly upgrading the functionality of the previous simple colored range annotation function. Additional annotation options have been implemented for several existing dataset types. Dataset template files now support simple assignment of annotations to multiple tree nodes through substring matching, including full regular expression support. Node metadata handling has been greatly extended with novel display and exporting options, and it can now be edited interactively or bulk updated through annotation files. Tree labels can be displayed using multiple simultaneous font styles, with precise positioning, sizing and styling of each individual label part. Various bulk label editing functions have been implemented, simplifying large scale changes of all tree node labels. iTOL's automatic taxonomy assignment functions now support trees based on the Genome Taxonomy Database (GTDB), in addition to the NCBI taxonomy. The functionality of the optional user account pages has been expanded, simplifying the management, navigation and sharing of projects and trees. iTOL currently handles more than one and a half million trees from >130 000 individual user accounts.
交互式生命之树(https://itol.embl.de)是一个用于管理、显示、注释和操作系统发育树和其他树的在线工具。它是免费提供的,对所有人开放。iTOL 版本 6 引入了现代化和完全重写的用户界面,以及许多新功能。引入了一种新的数据集类型(彩色/标记范围),极大地提升了之前简单的彩色范围注释功能的功能。为几种现有的数据集类型实现了额外的注释选项。数据集模板文件现在支持通过子字符串匹配将注释简单分配给多个树节点,包括完整的正则表达式支持。节点元数据处理得到了极大的扩展,具有新颖的显示和导出选项,现在可以通过注释文件进行交互式编辑或批量更新。树标签可以使用多个同时的字体样式显示,每个单独的标签部分都可以精确定位、调整大小和样式。实现了各种批量标签编辑功能,简化了所有树节点标签的大规模更改。iTOL 的自动分类群分配功能现在除了支持 NCBI 分类群外,还支持基于基因组分类群数据库(GTDB)的树。可选的用户帐户页面的功能得到了扩展,简化了项目和树的管理、导航和共享。iTOL 目前处理来自超过 130000 个用户帐户的超过一百五十万棵树。
