Nexplorer: phylogeny-based exploration of sequence family data

Bioinformatics. 2006 Jan 1;22(1):120-1. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bti747. Epub 2005 Nov 2.

Abstract

Summary: Nexplorer is a web-based program for interactive browsing and manipulation of character data in NEXUS format, well suited for use with alignments and trees representing families of homologous genes or proteins. Users may upload a sequence family dataset, or choose from one of several thousand already available. Nexplorer provides a flexible means to develop customized views that combine a tree and a data matrix or alignment, to create subsets of data, and to output data files or publication-quality graphics.
