biojs-io-newick

biojs-io-newick parses Newick and Extended Newick (NHX) strings into structured JSON representations of phylogenetic trees for downstream computational analysis and visualization.

Key Features:

• Parsing Capabilities: Parses both standard Newick and Extended Newick (NHX) formats into JSON representations.
• Hierarchy preservation: Preserves the hierarchical structure of phylogenetic trees during conversion to maintain topology information.
• BioJS integration: Produces JSON objects compatible with BioJS components for downstream manipulation and visualization.

Scientific Applications:

• Phylogenetic visualization: Enables conversion of tree strings into JSON for visualization with JavaScript-based tools.
• Evolutionary biology and taxonomy: Provides structured tree data for evolutionary and taxonomic analyses.
• Comparative genomics: Supplies phylogenetic tree representations for comparative genomics studies.

Methodology:

Parses Newick and NHX strings into JSON objects while preserving the hierarchical structure of phylogenetic trees.
