salphycon

A browser-based front end for the phruta R package. Retrieve, curate, and align phylogenetic sequence data, right in your browser, no R installation required.

What it does

Building a molecular dataset for a phylogenetic study usually means searching GenBank by hand, downloading sequences gene by gene, cleaning up mislabeled or duplicate records, and aligning everything before any real analysis can start. salphycon automates that first stretch: give it a taxon list and, optionally, a list of genes; it searches GenBank, retrieves matching sequences, checks their taxonomy against GBIF, removes duplicates and mismatches, and produces gene-by-gene sequence alignments, ready for tree building.
