To develop an integrated, user-friendly desktop platform that streamlines molecular sequence data management and multi-step phylogenetic workflows for large genomic datasets.
Engineered an open-source, stand-alone Python application featuring a graphical user interface with point-and-click and drag-and-drop operations.
Integrated third-party command-line bioinformatic tools via a plugin architecture to link sequence alignment, alignment trimming, model selection, and tree inference.
Streamlined an end-to-end pipeline encompassing GenBank data extraction, sequence alignment (MAFFT, MACSE), alignment optimization (trimAl, Gblocks), dataset concatenation, and model selection (ModelFinder, PartitionFinder).
Enabled batch-processed phylogenetic inference using MrBayes and IQ-TREE alongside downstream tree annotation via iTOL integration without requiring manual file conversions.
