MitoPhAST
Description
The increased rate at which complete mitogenomes are being sequenced and their increasing use for phylogenetic studies have resulted in a bioinformatics bottleneck in preparing and utilising such data for phylogenetic data analysis. We present, MitoPhAST, an automated tool that:
1) Identifies annotated protein-coding gene (PCG) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) features directly from complete/partial GenBank/EMBL-format mitogenome files and generates a standardized, concatenated and partitioned nucleotide/amino acid alignments. 2) Incorporates nuclear gene sequences (if supplied by user) into phylogenetic analysis. 2) Generates a maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree using optimized substitution models performed by IQ-TREE. 3) Reports various mitochondrial genes and sequence information in a simple table format. 4) Extracts mitochondrial gene order (MGO) from GenBank files and clusters identical MGOs into groups
