Explore the fitness dynamics of pathogens in phylogenetic trees
This is a web-based implementation of Phylowave. Load a time-resolved phylogeny, compute the phylowave index, and explore the dynamics on a browser. You can try it on example datasets or your own. Data will stay on your computer.Get started

What is Phylowave?
A scalable approach that summarizes changes in population composition in phylogenetic trees, enabling the automatic detection of lineages based on shared fitness and evolutionary relationships.
