Reconstructs evolutionary histories by building, analyzing, and visualizing phylogenetic trees from biological sequences.
This skill provides a comprehensive bioinformatics pipeline for researchers and developers to analyze the evolutionary relationships between genes, proteins, and genomes. It streamlines the transition from raw FASTA sequences to publication-quality trees by integrating industry-standard tools like MAFFT for alignment, IQ-TREE 2 for maximum likelihood inference, and FastTree for high-speed processing of large datasets. Whether you are tracking viral outbreaks, studying microbial genomics, or performing protein family analysis, this skill automates the complex workflows of model selection, bootstrapping, and tree visualization.
