Rogue

Identify Rogue Taxa in Sets of Phylogenetic Trees

v2.2.1 · Jun 24, 2026 · GPL (>= 3)

Description

Rogue ("wildcard") taxa are leaves with uncertain phylogenetic position. Their position may vary from tree to tree under inference methods that yield a tree set (e.g. bootstrapping, Bayesian tree searches, maximum parsimony). The presence of rogue taxa in a tree set can potentially remove all information from a consensus tree. The information content of a consensus tree - a function of its resolution and branch support values - can often be increased by removing rogue taxa. 'Rogue' provides an explicitly information-theoretic approach to rogue detection (Smith 2022) <doi:10.1093/sysbio/syab099>, and an interface to 'RogueNaRok' (Aberer et al. 2013) <doi:10.1093/sysbio/sys078>.
