RoadMap

Here you will find a list of upcoming features in Phylemon.

Phylemon was first presented in 2007 in order to: 1) fill a gap in the availability of a public web to work on phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses under a truly integrated, platform-independent, and straightforward environment of tools, and 2) provide the possibility of running multi-program or multi-step analyses, as is most often required, under a pipeline in an intuitive manner without having to know how to program or worrying about format conversions. In this way the user can spend more time analyzing the results and can simplify the otherwise cumbersome and time consuming task of repeating multi-step analyses when necessary or when looking at more than one gene or data set.

Phylemon does not intend to be a collection of as-many-methods-as-possible, but an integrated tool able to provide a simple, easy but rigorous solution to most scientific questions that can arise in the light of phylogenetics and evolution.

Phylemon is a suite that has recently been made available, and although all of the included features are fully operational, further additions such as new features, feature expansions, and programs are soon to be included. As such the list of future features and programs below can be consulted to know what will soon be included in Phylemon.

• Project management facilities will be included to: delete,rename, and or compress projects, jobs, and files.
• The Superphylemon Pipeliner will include all of the tools in Phylemon
• The Superphylemon Pipeliner will allow saving pipelines to your Phylemon projects instead of just your own PC
• A page with pre-made and user contributed pipelines will be made available
• An official Phylemon Wiki will be available to provide more detailed information, guides, and allow user contributions
• Programs requiring or allowing more than one input file will be able to automatically draw all of them from previous analyses when available.

• The addition of a new interactive interface for ETE will allow on the go manipulation of tree visualization for exploration, and generation of customized images.
• Addition of an alignment trimming program balancing gap removal and retainment of phylogenetic information to the utilities section.
• Modify RRtree to allow dynamic, instead of the original hard-coded, limits for input sequence length (the original version only accepts up to a maximum of 2000 characters).

Of course, we do welcome suggestions about features and programs that fitting these objectives may be of benefit for Phylemon users in general. If you have any comments, you may contact us at phylemon@cipf.es
