CVTree -- A Phylogenetic Tree Reconstruction Tool Based on Whole Genomes

What you can do:
Construct phylogenetic tree of microorganisms based on oligopeptide content of their complete proteomes.
Highlights:
  • The CVTree web server is a new implementation of the whole genome-based, alignment-free composition vector (CV) method for phylogenetic analysis.
  • The development of whole genome-based alignment-free CV method has provided an independent verification to the traditional phylogenetic analysis based on a single gene or a few genes.
  • This new implementation attempts to meet the challenge of ever increasing amount of genome data and includes in its database more than 850 prokaryotic genomes which will be updated monthly from NCBI, and more than 80 fungal genomes collected manually from several sequencing centers.
  • It provides a faster and stable research platform.
  • Users can upload their own sequences to find their phylogenetic position among genomes selected from the server's inbuilt database.
  • All sequence data used in a session may be downloaded as a compressed file.
  • Users can also choose to output trees whose monophyletic branches are collapsed to various taxonomic levels.
