PHYLOViZ Web Platform is a web-based tool for phylogenetic analysis, developed in the context of the PHYLOViZ initiative.
The PHYLOViZ Web Platform allows users to access and perform phylogenetic analyses and visualizations from anywhere with an internet connection, without requiring installation of software or access to high-performance computing resources.
Benefiting from a highly modular architecture, the PHYLOViZ Web Platform offers exceptional flexibility and extensibility. It allows for effortless integration of novel analysis methods and tools, empowering researchers to stay at the forefront of biomedical research.
Discover the power and versatility of the PHYLOViZ Web Platform, and unlock new insights into phylogenetic data analysis, by visiting the PHYLOViZ Web Platform website.
To see a demo of the PHYLOViZ Web Platform in action, check out this video. It provides an overview of the platform's features and showcases its capabilities for phylogenetic analysis and visualization.
The deployment guide for the PHYLOViZ Web Platform is described in the deployment section of the wiki.
The wiki of the project contains comprehensive documentation, including both technical specifications and user-oriented materials, associated with the repository, being available here.
Additionally, a final report of the project, delivered as part of our BSc in Informatics and Computer Engineering is available here.
In the docs folder, you can find additional documentation, such as API specifications, project presentation, and other relevant materials.
- Modular Architecture: The platform has a modular architecture that unifies both versions of PHYLOViZ and allows for easy integration of new analysis methods and tools.
- Web-Based: It is a web-based tool, accessible from anywhere with an internet connection, without requiring installation of software or access to high-performance computing resources;
- Advanced Data Management: The platform has advanced data management capabilities, including efficient storage and retrieval of large phylogenetic datasets;
- Optimization Capabilities: The platform includes optimization capabilities for inference and visualization tasks, which are performed server-side using a workflow engine, to avoid limitations of the client-side;
- Support for Epidemiological and Ancillary data: The platform integrates epidemiological and ancillary data for isolates under study, enhancing the visualization and exploration of inference results;
- User-friendly interface: The platform has a user-friendly interface for performing phylogenetic analyses and visualizations.
This software uses the following open source packages:
- PHYLOViZ - A tool for phylogenetic analysis and visualization;
- PHYLOViZ Online - A web-based tool for phylogenetic analysis and visualization;
- FLOWViZ - An integration framework for phylogenetic processing;
- phylolib - Library of efficient algorithms for phylogenetic analysis;
- phyloDB - A framework for large scale phylogenetic analysis.
