Software, datasets, and more

This project provides easy-to-use Python 3 tools (and documentation) for quantifying the association between the metadata of a set of terminals and the clades they form on a tree, using random forests.

The cladegbm program measures how well per-terminal metadata predicts the clades of a phylogenetic tree, and validates that signal with the perturbation test — the same question asked by Alves et al. (2025), but with a more general, automated, and faster engine.

The FLAVi pipeline aims to provide an annotation framework for multiple complete or partial genomes of viruses. Currently, FLAVi is designed to annotate the genomes of viruses of the family Flaviviridae only.

The YBYRÁ project integrates software solutions for data analysis in phylogenetics. It comprises tools for topological distance calculation, clade sensitivity analysis, categorization of synapomorphies, identidfication of wildcard taxa, and more.

Dedicated gene prediction and annotation for cestode mitogenomes.

The AWA project integrates software solutions for testing the completeness of assemblies of circular DNA based on short sequence reads.
