PhyloProfile v2 -- Exploring multi-layered phylogenetic profiles at scale
Phylogenetic profiles visualize the presence-absence pattern of genes across taxa and are essential for delineating the evolutionary fate of genes and gene families. Integrating phylogenetic profiles across many genes and taxa reveals patterns of coevolution, aiding the predictions of gene functions and interactions. The surge of genome sequences generated by biodiversity genomics projects allows to compile phylogenetic profiles at an unprecedented scale. PhyloProfile v2 was designed to cope with the novel challenges of visualizing and analyzing phylogenetic profiles comprising millions of pairwise orthology relationships. By providing the ability to interact with the visualization and dynamically filter the data, PhyloProfile v2 facilitates a seamless transition from survey analyses across thousands of genes and taxa down to the feature architecture comparison of two ortholog pairs within the same analysis. As one key innovation, PhyloProfile v2 allows the display of phylogenetic profiles in 2D or 3D using dimensionality reduction techniques. This novel perspective eases, for example, the identification of taxa with similar presence/absence patterns of genes irrespective of their phylogenetic relationships. PhyloProfile v2 is available as an R package at Bioconductor https://doi.org/doi:10.18129/B9.bioc.PhyloProfile.
