TreeProfiler
Command-line tool that automates the annotation of large phylogenetic trees with metadata (categorical/numerical traits, NCBI/GTDB taxonomy, eggNOG-mapper output, Pfam/SMART domains, alignments) and visualises them as phylogenetic profiles. It also offers ancestral character reconstruction, phylogenetic signal and lineage-specificity analyses.
