PEACH Tree: A Multiple Sequence Alignment and Tree Display Tool for Epidemiologists

Quantitative Methods 2021-12-15 v1 Genomics Populations and Evolution

Abstract

PEACH Tree is an easy-to-use, online tool for displaying multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic trees side-by-side. PEACH Tree is powerful for rapidly tracing evolutionary and transmission histories by filtering invariant sites out of the display, and allowing samples to readily be filtered out of the display. These features, coupled with the ability to display epidemiological metadata, make the tool suitable for infectious disease epidemiology. PEACH Tree further enables much needed communication between the fields of genomics and infectious disease epidemiology, as exemplified by the COVID-19 pandemic.
