BAT: an integrated pipeline for gene tree construction, annotation, and functional inference (opens in new tab)

Gene family functional exploration often requires analyzing motifs, domains, and associated datasets (e.g. gene expression) in the phylogenetic context of a gene tree. As genomic resources become more abundant, local pipelines are needed to analyze gene families of interest with project-specific resources. Here we present BLAST-Align-Tree (BAT), a bioinformatic pipeline for automated gene family phylogeny construction and annotation to enable gene tree exploration. BAT combines a BLAST search...
