  <dc:subject>CRAN Task View: Phylogenetics (https://CRAN.R-project.org/view=Phylogenetics)</dc:subject>
  <dc:description>Efficient implementations of functions for the creation, 
  modification and analysis of phylogenetic trees.
  Applications include:
  generation of trees with specified shapes;
  tree rearrangement;
  analysis of tree shape;
  rooting of trees and extraction of subtrees;
  calculation and depiction of split support;
  plotting the position of rogue taxa (Klopfstein &amp; Spasojevic 2019)
  &lt;doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0212942&gt;;
  calculation of ancestor-descendant relationships,
  of 'stemwardness' (Asher &amp; Smith, 2022) &lt;doi:10.1093/sysbio/syab072&gt;,
  and of tree balance (Mir et al. 2013, Lemant et al. 2022)
  &lt;doi:10.1016/j.mbs.2012.10.005&gt;, &lt;doi:10.1093/sysbio/syac027&gt;;
  artificial extinction (Asher &amp; Smith, 2022) &lt;doi:10.1093/sysbio/syab072&gt;;
  import and export of trees from Newick, Nexus (Maddison et al. 1997)
  &lt;doi:10.1093/sysbio/46.4.590&gt;,
  and TNT &lt;https://www.lillo.org.ar/phylogeny/tnt/&gt; formats;
  and analysis of splits and cladistic information.</dc:description>
