PhyloPhlAn is an integrated pipeline for large-scale phylogenetic profiling of genomes and metagenomes. PhyloPhlAn is an accurate, rapid, and easy-to-use method for large-scale microbial genome characterization and phylogenetic analysis at multiple levels of resolution. PhyloPhlAn can assign both genomes and metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) to species-level genome bins (SGBs). PhyloPhlAn can reconstruct strain-level phylogenies using clade-specific maximally informative phylogenetic markers, and can also scale to very-large phylogenies comprising >17,000 microbial species.
You can install PhyloPhlAn using conda as follows:
conda install -c bioconda phylophlanYou can clone the PhyloPhlAn repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/biobakery/phylophlan
cd phylophlan
python setup.py installThen remember to check that the Dependencies and Tools are in stalled and available in your system.
