polecat

Phylogenetic Overview & Local Epidemiological Cluster Analysis Tool

polecat is a tool developed with 'real-time' genomics in mind.

Using a background phylogeny, such as the large phylogeny available through the COG-UK infrastructure on CLIMB, polecat will identify and flag clusters based on various configurable statistics.

A fully customisable report is generated, summarising information about the clusters of interest.
