Currently it performs the following functions (to suggest another feature, submit an Issue and use the label Type-Enhancement) :
Trees
- rerooting
- pruning
- type conversion
- consensus
- leaf stability
- lineage movement
- tree support
Data Matrices
- concatenate alignments
- genbank parsing
- trimming alignments
- search NCBI
- fetch NCBI
please reroot your trees before performing the leaf stability, lineage movement, or consensus functions -- unrooted functions for these will be incorporated ASAP
