Provides functions for graph-based multiple-sample
    testing and visualization of microbiome data, in particular data
    stored in 'phyloseq' objects. The tests are based on those
    described in Friedman and Rafsky (1979)
    <http://www.jstor.org/stable/2958919>, and the tests are described
    in more detail in Callahan et al. (2016)
    <doi:10.12688/f1000research.8986.1>.

A collection of tools to explore the phylogenetic signal in univariate and multivariate data. The package provides functions to plot traits data against a phylogenetic tree, different measures and tests for the phylogenetic signal, methods to describe where the signal is located and a phylogenetic clustering method.

Functions to read and write APE-compatible phylogenetic
  trees in NEXUS and Newick formats, while preserving annotations.

A collection of tools for building RAxML supermatrix using
             PHYLIP or aligned FASTA files. These functions will be
             useful for building large phylogenies using multiple markers.

Tools for calculating and viewing topological properties of phylogenetic trees.

Classification based analysis of DNA sequences to taxonomic groupings. This package primarily implements Naive Bayesian Classifier from the Ribosomal Database Project. This approach has traditionally been used to classify 16S rRNA gene sequences to bacterial taxonomic outlines; however, it can be used for any type of gene sequence. The method was originally described by Wang, Garrity, Tiedje, and Cole in Applied and Environmental Microbiology 73(16):5261-7 <doi:10.1128/AEM.00062-07>. The package also provides functions to read in 'FASTA'-formatted sequence data.

Analyzis and filtering of phylogenomics datasets. 
	It takes an input either a collection of gene trees (then transformed to matrices) or directly a collection of gene matrices and performs an iterative process to identify
	what species in what genes are outliers, and whose elimination significantly improves the concordance between the input matrices. The methods builds upon the Distatis approach (Abdi et al. (2005) <doi:10.1101/2021.09.08.459421>), a generalization of classical multidimensional scaling to multiple distance matrices.
