mitoTree Visualization

mitoTree is a web-based tool designed to visualize and explore human mitochondrial DNA phylogenetic trees. It provides a way to browse haplogroups, view hierarchical tree structures, and examine detailed node information for individual mitochondrial mutations. It gathers data from Genbank, builds a phylogenetic tree and plots it data using d3.js.
