treetime

Treetime is a command line tool specifically designed for evolutionary analysis of molecular sequences. It allows for the inference of temporal and phylogenetic relationships among sequences, commonly used in the study of viruses and bacteria. Treetime provides a wide range of functionalities to perform molecular dating, estimate mutation rates, and reconstruct ancestral sequences. This tool utilizes a Bayesian approach to estimate the phylogenetic tree from sequence alignments, incorporating molecular clock models for accurate time estimation. Treetime also employs maximum likelihood methods to optimize substitution models and assess branch support values. It supports the analysis of large-scale datasets efficiently, and the output is easily interpretable and customizable. Overall, Treetime is a powerful and versatile tool that aids researchers in understanding the evolutionary dynamics and timeline of molecular sequences.
