export2graphlan

export2graphlan converts input microbial and metagenomic data into GraPhlAn-compatible annotation and tree files to enable visualization of phylogenies and rich metadata annotations.

Key Features:

• Data Conversion: Converts input files into annotation and tree formats compatible with GraPhlAn.
• Highlighting Important Sub-Trees: Automatically identifies and emphasizes significant sub-trees and nodes within phylogenetic trees.
• Integration with GraPhlAn: Produces files directly usable by GraPhlAn to support compact, publication-quality visualizations of microbial genomes and metagenomes.

Scientific Applications:

• Microbial Genomics Visualization: Supports visualization of phylogenies encompassing thousands of taxa for microbial and community genomics studies.
• Metadata Annotation: Annotates visualizations with metadata such as community abundances, microbial physiology, and host or environmental phenotypes.
• Biomarker Discovery and Metabolic Function Analysis: Facilitates phylogenetic and taxonomic visualization used in biomarker discovery and analysis of metabolic functions within microbial communities.

Methodology:

Converts input files into GraPhlAn-compatible annotation and tree files and identifies significant sub-trees for emphasis.
