patristic is a javascript toolkit for working with phylogenies. It can:
- Parse newick into Javascript objects representing the phylogenetic tree
- Run rapid neighbor joining to compute a phylogenetic tree from a distance matrix
- Infer a patristic distance matrix from a phylogenetic tree
- Reroot a tree on any given Branch
- Infer directionality between two Branches in the tree
- ...And quite a bit more.
To install patristic with NPM use: npm install --save patristic
Please note that this is a beta-stage API and may change (possibly dramatically) in the very near future.
var newick = "(A:0.1,B:0.2,(C:0.3,(D:0.4,E:0.6):0.1):0.5);";
var tree = patristic.parseNewick(newick);We can use this tree to compute a patristic distance matrix.
var matrix = tree.toMatrix();Note that elements in the tree object maintain references to their parents, creating circular references. If you need a tree without circular references for serialization:
tree.toObject();(tree.toJSON aliases that, so you can JSON.stringify a Branch and it just
works. 😉)
