Tree House Explorer: A Novel Genome Browser for Phylogenomics

Mol Biol Evol. 2022 Jun 14;39(6):msac130. doi: 10.1093/molbev/msac130. Online ahead of print.

Abstract

Tree House Explorer (THEx) is a genome browser that integrates phylogenomic data and genomic annotations into a single interactive platform for combined analysis. THEx allows users to visualize genome-wide variation in evolutionary histories and genetic divergence on a chromosome-by-chromosome basis, with continuous sliding window comparisons to gene annotations (GFF/GTF), recombination rates, and other user-specified, highly customizable feature annotations. THEx provides a new platform for interactive phylogenomic data visualization to analyze and interpret the diverse evolutionary histories woven throughout genomes. Hosted on Conda, THEx integrates seamlessly into new or pre-existing workflows.
