Streamlining phylogenomic data gathering, processing and visualization

TriFusion is a GUI and command line application designed to streamline the workflow of phylogenomic projects. With the dramatic increase in size of data sets for phylogenetics and population genetics, programming has become a crucial tool to gather, process and analyze the data. However, this may still represent a hurdle that precludes the execution of such projects by a broader range of researchers. TriFusion aims to mitigate this issue by providing a user-friendly visual interface that empowers users without any programming knowledge with a set of tools and operations that can handle large sets of data.

TriFusion is an open source, cross-platform application written in Python 2.7 and using the Kivy framework to construct graphical interface.

Installation

• ArchLinux/Manjaro (See list): trifusion-bin-0.4.11 is available on AUR.

Windows

• TriFusion-0.4.12 32bit installer

Note for Windows 8.x and 10 users:

Executing the TriFusion installer may generate a warning from SmartScreen. To continue with the installation, click the “More info” label and then “Run anyway”.

Installation from source

TriFusion can be installed directly from source (whether from the latest stable release or from the git version), which has its advantages:

• Stay on the bleeding edge of the application’s development (Git version)

• Minimize the application size install

• Modify the code any way you want. Contributions are welcome.

Here are instructions on how to install TriFusion from source. (Go ahead, it won’t bite.)

How to use

GUI version

Windows

TriFusion should be available in the Start Menu, ready to launch.

Linux

If TriFusion was installed using package managers, a TriFusion shortcut should have been created and available using your distribution’s application launcher (Under the Science category). Alternatively, TriFusion can be executed from the terminal with the command TriFusion.

Command line versions

Command line versions for each of the three modules in TriFusion are only available when installing the program from source. Once installed, each module can be executed in the terminal using the following commands:

• Orthology search module:

  orthomcl_pipeline

• Process module:

  TriSeq

• Statistics module:

  TriStats

For more information on the command line versions, see the manual.
