Phylostat: A Web-Based Tool To Analyze Paralogous Clade Divergencein Phylogenetic Trees, Eli̇f Özçeli̇k, Nurdan Kuru, Ogün Adebali̇
Turkish Journal of Biology
Phylogenetic trees are useful tools to infer evolutionary relationships between genetic entities. Phylogenetics enables not only evolution-based gene clustering but also the assignment of gene duplication and deletion events to the nodes when coupled with statistical approaches such as bootstrapping. However, extensive gene duplication and deletion events bring along a challenge in interpreting phylogenetic trees and require manual inference. In particular, there has been no robust method of determining whether one of the paralog clades systematically shows higher divergence following the gene duplication event as a sign of functional divergence. Here, we provide Phylostat, a graphical user interface that enables …
