CVTree update: a newly designed phylogenetic study platform using composition vectors and whole genomes

Xu, Zhao; Hao, Bailin

This page shows the organism list of all inbuilt genomes. The default view shows organism name, proteome size (or cDNA length for DNA sequences) in MB, accession number for chromosome sequences and the superkingdom label extracted from NCBI Taxonomy Browser. Full taxonomy information can be shown by putting the mouse on the organism name. Clicking on the organism name will redirect the user to the NCBI Taxonomy Browser. This table is sortable by clicking at one of the header items. This is useful, for example, when a user wants to select a few smallest or largest genomes to study. Users can see organisms from designated taxa by using the taxonomy selector. The selected taxonomy will be shown in the last column of the organism list table. By choosing the taxonomy label and typing the appropriate keywords, the user can pick up the species of interest quickly. After filtering the organism list, the user can tick the box in the table header to select or deselect all organisms in the current list. When the selection is finished, the status filter can be used to review and check the list.
