Identifying Phylogeny Visualisation Software

I would like to generate phylogenetic trees the same as one on this image: http://minus.com/mTRWiOHjl/ but I don't know with what kind of software they were generated. I thought it's from iTOL but it's not quite the same.

check out the ETE2 library for python. There are options for many types of flashy customizations to a phylogenetic tree.

  • You can also use plot.phylo() from the ape R package.

    From example(plot.phylo):

    library(ape)
data(bird.families)`
plot(bird.families, "u", lab4ut = "axial", font = 1, cex = 0.5)

  • I also sometimes use the very light-weight njplot for basic viewing/re-rooting but not for figure preparation.
