Kssdtree: an interactive Python package for phylogenetic analysis based on sketching technique.

ABSTRACT:

Summary

Sketching technologies have recently emerged as a promising solution for real-time, large-scale phylogenetic analysis. However, existing sketching-based phylogenetic tools exhibit drawbacks, including platform restrictions, deficiencies in tree visualization, and inherent distance estimation bias. These limitations collectively impede the overall convenience and efficiency of the analysis. In this study, we introduce Kssdtree, an interactive Python package designed to address these challenges. Kssdtree surpasses other sketching-based tools by demonstrating superior performance in terms of both accuracy and time efficiency on comprehensive benchmarking datasets. Notably, Kssdtree offers key advantages such as intra-species phylogenomic analysis and GTDB-based phylogenetic pl
