Attotree

Introduction

Rapid estimation of phylogenetic trees directly from FASTA files in the style of Mashtree. With the default options, its output is identical to Mashtree, but the computation takes only a fraction of time.

Installation

Using Bioconda

conda install -y -c bioconda -c conda-forge attotree

Using PyPI

First, install the following dependencies:

• Mash
• QuickTree

Then install the Attotree Python package:

pip install -U attotree

Quick example

conda install attotree
attotree tests/*.fa

Command-line parameters

$ attotree -h
