PhyloTools

A julia package for phylogenetics that includes some visualization functions.
The basic tree data structure and the plot recipes are based off of NewickTree.jl

Tree manipulation

To read a tree:

tree = readnw(readline(path_to_tree))

We can also root the tree automatically based on a midpoint rooting criterion (at the node which has the minimal distance to the tip that is farthest away from it):

tree_rooted = root_midpoint(tree)

Trees can be clustered based on the fraction of the total divergence allowed in each subtree:

clu = cluster_tree(tree_rooted,2)

Plotting

Plotting is based on Plots.jl.
To plot a tree (without showing its tip labels):

plot(tree_rooted)

or with tip labels:

plot(tree_rooted; labels=true)

To plot the tree in an upward direction:

plot(tree_rooted; upwards=true)
