treehouse

Treehouse is an open-source software tool to simplify the process of retrieving subtrees from large phylogenetic trees containing hundreds to thousands of taxa. Developed as a Shiny application in the R programming language, Treehouse addresses the challenge of efficiently extracting relationships among a subset of taxa from extensive phylogenies.

The tool employs a straightforward three-step workflow, enabling users to obtain a subtree from any phylogeny. This functionality allows researchers to explore the relationships among any set of taxa across the tree of life, facilitating the analysis of specific subgroups within large phylogenetic datasets.
