Software recommendations for visualizing phylogenetic trees
There exists a variety of software for visualizing phylogenetic trees.
Packages in R
ape - Functions for reading, writing, plotting, and manipulating phylogenetic trees, as well as comparative analyses
ggtree - for visualizing trees using a tidy framework
FigTree
Dendroscope
Description: Researchers studying phylogenetic relationships need software that is able to visualize rooted phylogenetic trees and networks efficiently, increasingly of large datasets involving hundreds of thousands of taxa. The program should be user friendly (easy to run on all popular operating systems), facilitate interactive browsing and editing the trees and allow one to export the result in multiple file formats in publication quality. In addition, there is a need for a program that allows one to compute rooted phylogenetic networks from trees.
