CVTree 4.0

:: DESCRIPTION

CVTree (Composition Vector Tree) constructs phylogeny trees without alignment, using a composition vector (CV) approach. The new method is based on whole genome of organisms and it is developed to infer the evolutionary relatedness of microbial organisms first, and also successfully used in the classifications of chloroplast and coronavirus. It circumvents the ambiguity of choosing the genes for phylogenetic reconstruction and avoids the necessity of aligning sequences of essentially different length and gene content.
