Genesis and Gappa: processing, analyzing and visualizing phylogenetic (placement) data

Abstract Summary We present genesis, a library for working with phylogenetic data, and gappa, an accompanying command-line tool for conducting typical analyses on such data. The tools target phylogenetic trees and phylogenetic placements, sequences, taxonomies and other relevant data types, offer hi...

Summary:Abstract Summary We present genesis, a library for working with phylogenetic data, and gappa, an accompanying command-line tool for conducting typical analyses on such data. The tools target phylogenetic trees and phylogenetic placements, sequences, taxonomies and other relevant data types, offer high-level simplicity as well as low-level customizability, and are computationally efficient, well-tested and field-proven. Availability and implementation Both genesis and gappa are written in modern C++11, and are freely available under GPLv3 at http://github.com/lczech/genesis and http://github.com/lczech/gappa. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
