What problem does it solve?
Phylogenomic analysis is a complex, multi-step process requiring specialized bioinformatics tools and often High-Performance Computing (HPC) expertise. This Skill automates the entire workflow, from raw genome input to final phylogenetic trees and a draft methods section, saving researchers significant time and reducing potential errors.
Core Features & Use Cases
- End-to-End Workflow: Generates a complete pipeline for both concatenated and coalescent phylogenetic trees from genome assemblies.
- HPC-Ready Scripts: Creates scheduler-specific scripts (SLURM, PBS, local) tailored to your computing environment, optimizing for parallelization.
- Publication-Ready Output: Provides quality control, detailed recommendations, and a draft methods paragraph for scientific publications.
- Use Case: A biologist needs to build a phylogenetic tree for 20 insect genomes. This Skill will guide them through selecting appropriate BUSCO lineages, generate all necessary scripts for their SLURM cluster, and produce the final trees along with a methods section for their research paper.
Quick Start
Generate a phylogeny from 20 insect genome assemblies for a SLURM cluster.
