CloudPhylo: a fast and scalable tool for phylogeny reconstruction.
Phylogeny reconstruction is fundamentally crucial for molecular evolutionary studies but remains computationally challenging. Here we present CloudPhylo, a tool built on Spark that is capable of processing large-scale datasets for phylogeny reconstruction. As testified on empirical data, CloudPhylo is well suited for big data analysis, achieving high efficiency and good scalability on phylogenetic tree inference.
