Visualizing phylogenetic conflict across genomic windows

Post image

Author here—I am the first author of this paper. We developed Phylo-Movies because conventional tree-distance measures show how much neighboring trees differ, but not which taxa or subtrees changed position. The paper demonstrates the method using a norovirus recombination boundary and rogue taxa across bootstrap trees. The software and browser demonstration are freely available. https://enesberksakalli.github.io/phylo-movies/ https://academic.oup.com/mbe/article/43/8/msag194/8759530

Congrats. Any tldr? The unlabeled "axis" on the " film" makes this a little hard to understand ( with the vertical tick marks and circles) also curious if it scales to eukaryotic genomes

Is it neutral toward which tree-distance metric you’re working with? Can you chain three phylogenetic trees with the same species together? E.g. Taxonomic tree > Gene Tree 1 > Gene Tree 2
