PhyloForge:Unifying micro and macro evolution with comprehensive
genomics signals
Abstract
The dimensions of phylogenetic research have expanded to encompass the
study of large-scale populations at the microevolutionary level and
comparisons between different species or taxonomic units at the
macroevolutionary level. Traditional phylogenetic tools often struggle
to handle the diverse and complex data required for these different
evolutionary scales. In response to this challenge, we introduce
PhyloForge, a robust tool designed to seamlessly integrate the demands
of both micro- and macro-evolution, comprehensively utilizing diverse
phylogenomic signals, such as genes, SNPs, structural variations, as
well as mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes. PhyloForge’s innovation
lies in its capability to seamlessly integrate multiple phylogenomic
signals, enabling unified analysis of multidimensional genomic data.
This unique feature empowers researchers to gain a more comprehensive
understanding of diverse aspects of biological evolution. PhyloForge not
only provides highly customizable analysis tools for experienced
researchers but also features an intuitively designed interface,
facilitating effortless phylogenetic analysis for beginners. Extensive
testing across various domains, including animals, plants, and fungi,
attests to its broad applicability in the field of phylogenetics. In
summary, PhyloForge has significant potential in the era of large-scale
genomics, offering a new perspective and toolset for a deeper
understanding of the evolution of life. PhyloForge codes could be found
in GitHub (https://github.com/wangyayaya/PhyloForge/) and the program
could be installed in Conda
(https://anaconda.org/wangxiaobei/phyloforge).
