Phenex is an application for annotating character matrix files with ontology terms. Character states can be annotated using the Entity-Quality syntax, where entity, quality, and possibly related entities are drawn from requisite ontologies. In addition, taxa (the rows of a character matrix) can be annotated with identifiers from a taxonomy ontology. Phenex saves ontology annotations alongside the original free-text character matrix data using the new NeXML format standard for evolutionary data.
Phenex releases may include installers for certain platforms. To install Phenex on platforms for which the desired release does not contain an installer, the software needs to be built from source. Details can be found in the README.
See the Phenex release history for the list of issues addressed in each version.
