UTILITIES PROVIDED IN PhyloFisher

aa_comp_calculator.py: Calculation of amino acid composition and hierarchic clustering of the data using Euclidean distances, in order to examine if amino acid composition may contribute to the groupings inferred in the phylogeny.

astral_runner.py: Generates input files and infers a coalescent-based species tree given a set of single ortholog trees and bootstrap trees using ASTRAL-III.

bipartition_examiner.py: Calculates the observed occurrences of clades of interest in bootstrap trees.

fast_site_removal.py: The fastest evolving sites are expected to be the most prone to phylogenetic signal saturation and systematic model misspecification in phylogenomic analyses. This tool will remove the fastest evolving sites within the phylogenomic supermatrix in a stepwise fashion, leading to a user-defined set of new matrices.

fast_tax_removal.py: Removes the fastest evolving taxa, based on tip-to-tip branch length. This tool will remove the fastest evolving taxa within the phylogenomic supermatrix in a stepwise fashion, leading to a user-defined set of new matrices with these taxa removed.

genetic_code.py: Checks stop-to-sense and sense-to-sense codon reassignment signal in transcriptome/genome data.

heterotachy.py: Within-site rate variation (heterotachy) has been shown to cause artifactual relationships in molecular phylogenetic reconstructions. This tool will remove the most heterotacheous sites within a phylogenomic supermatrix in a stepwise fashion, leading to a user-defined set of new matrices.

mammal_modeler.py: Generates a MAMMaL site heterogeneous model from a user input tree and supermatrix with estimated frequencies for a user defined number of classes using the methods described in Susko et al. 2018.

random_sample_iteration.py: Randomly subsamples the gene set included in the supermatrix into a set of new matrices. It constructs supermatrices from randomly sampled genes with user-defined options. These include sampling all genes in a random fashion within a user-defined sampling confidence interval and the percentage of subsampling a user requires per sampling step.

rtc_binner.py: Calculates the relative tree certainty score (RTC) in RAxML of each single ortholog tree and bins them based on their RTC scoring into top 25%, 50%, and top 75% sets. Supermatrices are constructed from these bins of orthologs.

SR4_class_recoder.py: Attempts to minimize phylogenetic saturation by recoding input supermatrix into the four-character state scheme of SR4, based on amino acid binning Susko and Roger 2007.

taxon_collapser.py: Allows users to combine multiple operational taxonomic units into one single taxon. For example, if a user has multiple proteomes derived from single-cell libraries from a taxon or multiple strains of the same species (or genus etc.), a user may decide to collapse all these strains/libraries into a single hybrid taxon.
