This is the development version of fastreeR; for the stable release version, see fastreeR.

Phylogenetic, Distance and Other Calculations on VCF and Fasta Files


Bioconductor version: Development (3.24)

Calculate distances, build phylogenetic trees or perform hierarchical clustering between the samples of a VCF or FASTA file. Functions are implemented in Java-11 and called via rJava. Parallel implementation that operates directly on the VCF or FASTA file for fast execution.
