TY - JOUR AU - Sauvage, Thomas AU - Plouviez, Sophie AU - Schmidt, William E. AU - Fredericq, Suzanne PY - 2018 DA - 2018/03/05 TI - TREE2FASTA: a flexible Perl script for batch extraction of FASTA sequences from exploratory phylogenetic trees JO - BMC Research Notes SP - 164 VL - 11 IS - 1 AB - The body of DNA sequence data lacking taxonomically informative sequence headers is rapidly growing in user and public databases (e.g. sequences lacking identification and contaminants). In the context of systematics studies, sorting such sequence data for taxonomic curation and/or molecular diversity characterization (e.g. crypticism) often requires the building of exploratory phylogenetic trees with reference taxa. The subsequent step of segregating DNA sequences of interest based on observed topological relationships can represent a challenging task, especially for large datasets.
