CompPhy: a web-based collaborative platform for comparing phylogenies
CompPhy is a web platform dedicated to the collaborative handling of phylogenetic trees. Users can freely manage collections of trees and communicate on a common project. By collaborative, we mean that several users connected to the same project can manipulation at the same time trees from shared collections. The platform is flexible enough to allow each user to focus on some trees or to follow trees manipulated by another user. The platform offers various functionalities covering tree edition, tree comparison, supertree inference, data management.
Why CompPhy?
Online collaborative and real-time tools are needed in various domains for projects involving remote partners. In the last twenty years, web technologies have enabled the development of such tools to jointly edit office documents. However, only few such tools exist in scientific domains. Particularly in phylogentics, prior to the introduction of the CompPhy website, no collaborative tool was available to handle phylogenies.

LoRDEC: hybrid correction of long…
Overview In a nutshell, LoRDEC is a program for error correcting long sequencing reads using short reads. It implements a hybrid correction approach. It uses little memory and is very efficient. Most importantly it scales up to process very large data sets. It can be applied to long reads obtained with either Pacific Biosciences SMRT…
FastME 2.0
FastME is a software package for the fast and accurate inference of phylogenetic trees from distance matrices. It implements algorithms based on the Balanced Minimum Evolution (BME) principle, a distance-based criterion closely related to the Neighbor Joining (NJ) method. The goal of the BME framework is to identify the phylogenetic tree that minimizes the total…

EPIK is a program dedicated to « Phylogenetic Placement » (PP) of metagenomic or metabarcoding reads on a reference tree. It is similar in spirit and technically the successor of RAPPAS (Linard et al. 2020). EPIK achieves identical or slightly better accuracy than RAPPAS and outperforms it in speed and flexibility. In many aspects the documentation of RAPPAS…
