Key Points

  • To introduce version 2 of the Interactive Tree Of Life (iTOL), expanding web-based features for displaying, annotating, and manipulating phylogenetic trees.
  • Developed an updated, freely accessible online platform supporting expanded dataset types and interactive phylogenetic tree editing.
  • Implemented a personal account architecture for organizing trees into custom workspaces and projects, alongside graphical export options for bitmap and vector formats.
  • Built a batch access interface enabling programmatic integration and automated interaction with external web services.
  • Expanded annotation functionality to support a wider array of custom dataset formats beyond classical tree viewer tools.
  • Enabled flexible user project management, tree sharing, and high-quality bitmap and vector graphic exports.
  • Established programmatic batch access for embedding interactive trees into external bioinformatics pipelines.

Abstract

Interactive Tree Of Life (http://itol.embl.de) is a web-based tool for the display, manipulation and annotation of phylogenetic trees. It is freely available and open to everyone. In addition to classical tree viewer functions, iTOL offers many novel ways of annotating trees with various additional data. Current version introduces numerous new features and greatly expands the number of supported data set types. Trees can be interactively manipulated and edited. A free personal account system is available, providing management and sharing of trees in user defined workspaces and projects. Export to various bitmap and vector graphics formats is supported. Batch access interface is available for programmatic access or inclusion of interactive trees into other web services.
