ATV (A TREE VIEWER)

Java tool for the visualization of annotated phylogenetic trees.

ATV (A Tree Viewer) allows the display and manipulation of large phylogenetic trees. Both internal and external nodes (or tips) can have various data fields associated with them. ATV is part of the FORESTER framework. FORESTER is a framework for phylogenomics. ATV can be used both as a standalone application and as an applet on a web page. ATV reads standard "New Hampshire" format tree files (as produced by all major phylogenetic analysis software).
