phylomatic-ws

IMPORTANT: as of mid-2022, the phylodiversity.net website, and the online phylomatic, is NOT UNDER MY CONTROL. An unknown person has (legitimately) bought the phylodiversity.net domain, and is illegitimately hosting old, depreciate web pages at the site. There is nothing I can do to fix this.

Internal phylogeny representation

Each node is represented by the following array values:

• nodename : the node identifier (string)
• parent[nodename] : the parent node identifier
• bl[nodename] : branch length to the parent node (float or string)
• taxon[nodename] : the taxon assoc with that node identifier (string)
• nDaughter[nodename] : the number of distal edges (integer)
• note : any notes associated with the node (string)
• lDaughter[nodename] : the left daughter of a node, created only during writing of newick (string)
• rSister[nodename] : the right sister of a node, created only during writing of newick (string)
• age[nodename] : the age of the node, measured from (ultramentric) tips (integer or float)

Other globals valiables:

• hasBL : does the tree contain BLs? (0|1)
• totalBL : the total tip to root BL sum (assumes an ultrametric tree) (float or string)
• root : the root node

Performance

Matching 10 taxa in the Smith 2011 megatree:

To Do

• Send/receive compression with gzip
• Graft in whole trees
• More ouput formats
• Add jsPhyloSVG viewer
