phyutility(1) tools for manipulating sequences and phylogenies

SYNOPSIS

phyutility <command> <options>

DESCRIPTION

Phyutility is a command line program that performs simple analyses or modifications on both trees and data matrices.

OPTIONS

To get help on a specific command use option -h <command>

COMMANDS

for trees:
consensus

leafstab

 Leaf stability index calculation. Use like -ls -in <infile>.
linmove

 Lineage movement calculation. Use like -lm -names <tip names> -tree <consensus> -in <infile> -out <outfile>.
prune

 Prune lineages. Use like -pr -names <tip names> -in <infile> -out <outfile>.
reroot

treesupp

 Support for a set of trees. Use like -ts -tree <tree> -in <infile> -out <outfile>.
for seqs:
clean

 Trim seqs based on threshold. Use like -clean # -in <infile> -out <outfile> -aa <to force aa>.
concat

 Concatenate alignments. Use like -concat -in <infiles> -out <outfile> -aa <to force aa>.
ncbiget

parse

 Parse genbank results. For options run phyutility -h parse.

EXAMPLE

phyutility -con -t 0.5 -in testall.tre -out test.con
Consensus the set of trees in testall.tre collapsing branches with less than 0.5 frequency.
phyutility -vert -in test.tre -out testvert.nex
Convert the tree file from newick in test.tre into nexus in testvert.nex.
phyutility -concat -in test.aln test2.aln -out testall.nex
Concatenate 2 alignment files into nexus in testall.nex.
