Overview

Welcome! PhyloCloud is an easy-to-use online platform for operating and interpreting phylogenetic trees and multiple sequence alignments, serving as a bridge between complex phylogenomic frameworks and non-expert users. Users can browse the public tree collections or build and save your own trees at your own workplace both registerially and anonymously

Quick Start

PhyloCloud provides entry point to annotated data and tools for phylogenomic research, regardless of whether registered or anonymous users. The home page of PhyloCloud indicates the most typical features so you can quickly start using PhyloCloud:

Besides of common usage for trees management, we also provide various phylogenetic tools to conduct various analysis

If you already have a tree, PhyloCloud implemented the state-of-art tree visualizing engine and provide various options for further modification or analysis.

UploadTree

One of the core features in PhyloCloud is to allow user upload multiple trees as a collection. Click the Upload tree button at the top right corner of the page to open the upload panel.

uploadTree

Input trees are expected to be in plain text files which not bigger than 50MB(~500,000 tips), and at the moment we support Newick format and parse with ETE Toolkit, for further imformation about newick format, please check ETE Toolkit

Phylocloud also allows user to attach alignment (<500MB) with corresponding tree. If you upload alignment files alongside with treefiles, please note that they must share the same prefix, otherwise alignments are not able to detect as attachment.

Besides of data input, users can also choose if their collection private or public for other users. Collection name is optional, once a collection is created, it will generate a collection id and it will be the collection title if it was not named. Anonymous user will be directed to the collection page where storage the trees you just upload. For registered users, they will be redirected to my cloud where your private cloud is.

*Noted Anonymous users should remember the collection id otherwise it will be lost.

BuildTree

Phylocloud provides a automated phylogenetic workflows to construct phylogeneies with a simple click. Click here to explore more

Once the job has submit, it will be redirect to result page with job id. After a waiting patiently for a moment, result tree will be render and visualized on the result page.

*Noted users should remember the job id otherwise it will be lost.
