چکیده
SUMMARY Phyutility provides a set of phyloinformatics tools for summarizing and manipulating phylogenetic trees, manipulating molecular data and retrieving data from NCBI. Its simple command-line interface allows for easy integration into scripted analyses, and is able to handle large datasets with an integrated database. AVAILABILITY Phyutility, including source code, documentation, examples, and executables, is available at http://code.google.com/p/phyutility.

Semantic Web technology and Phyloinformatics
Phyloinformatics is an interdisciplinary study, combining Phylogenetics and Informatics. It involves gathering, storing, computing, and reusing the product of phylogenetic analyses. One of the major challenges in the domain of phylogenetics is the accessibility of published phylogenetic trees and the data that are used to estimate these trees. With the help of Semantic Web technology, we can ma...
متن کاملHOVERGEN: a database of homologous vertebrate genes.
Comparison of homologous genes is a major step for many studies related to genome structure, function or evolution. Similarity search programs easily find genes homologous to a given sequence. However, only very tedious manual procedures allow the retrieval of all sets of homologous genes sequenced for a given set of species. Moreover, this search often generates errors due to the complexity of...
متن کاملDevelopment and application of an algorithm to compute weighted multiple glycan alignments
Motivation A glycan consists of monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds, has branches and forms complex molecular structures. Databases have been developed to store large amounts of glycan-binding experiments, including glycan arrays with glycan-binding proteins. However, there are few bioinformatics techniques to analyze large amounts of data for glycans because there are few tools that can...
متن کاملEstimating Optimal Species Trees from Incomplete Gene Trees Under Deep Coalescence
The estimation of species trees typically involves the estimation of trees and alignments on many different genes, so that the species tree can be based on many different parts of the genome. This kind of phylogenomic approach to species tree estimation has the potential to produce more accurate species tree estimates, especially when gene trees can differ from the species tree due to processes...
متن کاملRapid and accurate large-scale coestimation of sequence alignments and phylogenetic trees.
Inferring an accurate evolutionary tree of life requires high-quality alignments of molecular sequence data sets from large numbers of species. However, this task is often difficult, slow, and idiosyncratic, especially when the sequences are highly diverged or include high rates of insertions and deletions (collectively known as indels). We present SATé (simultaneous alignment and tree estimati...
