ViCTree: An automated framework to aid taxonomic classification of viruses

ViCTree is a bioinformatics framework that automatically selects new candidate virus sequences from GenBank, generates multiple sequence alignments, calculates a maximum likelihood phylogeny and, is capable of automatically building new phylogenies when new data is available on GenBank.

Documentation

For documentation please visit ViCTree website: http://bioinformatics.cvr.ac.uk/victree_web/

You can also find the documentation here.

An instance of the visualisation component of the framework called ViCTreeView is available at http://www.bioinformatics.cvr.ac.uk/ViCTree

ViCTreeView is developed by Anil Thanki.
