To Slice Phylogenetic Trees and Infer Evolutionary Patterns Over Time

v1.1.0 · Oct 16, 2025 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

Provide a range of functions with multiple criteria for cutting phylogenetic trees at any evolutionary depth. It enables users to cut trees in any orientation, such as rootwardly (from root to tips) and tipwardly (from tips to its root), or allows users to define a specific time interval of interest. It can also be used to create multiple tree pieces of equal temporal width. Moreover, it allows the assessment of novel temporal rates for various phylogenetic indexes, which can be quickly displayed graphically.
