Overview

ETE (Environment for Tree Exploration) is a Python programming toolkit that assists in the automated manipulation, analysis and visualization of phylogenetic trees. Clustering trees or any other tree-like data structure are also supported.

Given that ETE is mainly developed as a tool for researchers working in phylogenetics and genomics, it also provides specialized tools in that context (e.g. reconstructing, comparing and visualizing phylogenetic trees). If you use ETE in a published work, please cite:
