#68 Phylogenetic inference from raw reads and Read2Tree with David Dylus - a podcast by Roman Cheplyaka

In this episode,
David Dylus talks about
Read2Tree,
a tool that builds alignment matrices and phylogenetic trees from raw
sequencing reads.
By leveraging the database of orthologous genes called OMA, Read2Tree bypasses traditional, time-consuming steps such as genome assembly, annotation and all-versus-all sequence comparisons.
