PhyloX: A Python package for complete phylogenetic network workflows

Year: 2024

Type: software-paper

Abstract: PhyloX is a Python package with tools for generating, manipulating, and analysing phylogenetic networks.It uses the NetworkX package (Hagberg et al., 2008) for basic graph operations.This has the added benefit that the powerful graph tools from NetworkX can be used directly on the phylogenetic networks as well.The aim of the package is to be of general use to phylogenetic network researchers, with a current focus on I/O, random generation of networks, cherry-picking methods, rearrangement operations, and the identification of classes and properties of networks.
