Phylogeny subsets
This tool provides a simple way to produce distributions of trees with subsets of taxa. The upper limit for the tool is 2,500 species. If larger subsets ar required you can download full trees.
The tool first trims to a subset, and then samples trees from a chosen pseudo-posterior distribution. Note that any further analyses should only be conducted with a large sample of trees.
Instructions
- Select species from the list. Then copy and paste or drag and drop them into the box to the right. Alternatively, download the taxonomy file and paste species names from the “Scientific” column.
- Choose a tree distribution (see paper for details).
- Select the number of trees to download (defaults to minimum of 100)
- Click “Get Trees” to download a zipped set of randomly selected
trees with metadata including accession numbers and citations to original
sources.
