K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills ↗What it does
Analyze and manipulate phylogenetic trees and sequence alignments
Best for
Comparative genomics and phylogenetic analysis when you need programmatic tree manipulation and statistical summaries.
Inputs
- · Newick/Nexus tree file
- · FASTA sequence alignment
- · tree metadata
Outputs
- · phylogenetic tree plots
- · alignment statistics
- · tree manipulations (prune, root)
Requires
- · ete3 Python package
- · optional: graphviz for rendering
Preconditions
Python 3.6+; ete3 installed; tree/alignment files in standard formats
Failure modes
Large trees (1000+ nodes) slow to render; complex metadata requires custom parsing; format validation strict
Trust signals
- · Newick/Nexus/PhylXML support
- · Statistical tree operations (LCA, tree distance)
- · Visualization and export
