Inference of phylogenetic trees directly from raw sequencing reads using Read2Tree
State-of-the-art phylogenomic pipelines require many steps, which can be both time consuming and error prone (Fig. 1a). With Read2Tree, we directly process raw sequencing reads and reconstruct sequence alignments for conventional tree inference methods (Fig. 1b and Supplementary Fig. 1). We start by aligning raw reads to nucleotide sequences derived…
