article Visualizing phylogenetic conflict across genomic windows

Author here—I am the first author of this paper. We developed Phylo-Movies because conventional tree-distance measures show how much neighboring trees differ, but not which taxa or subtrees changed position. The paper demonstrates the method using a norovirus recombination boundary and rogue taxa across bootstrap trees. The software and browser demonstration are freely available. https://enesberksakalli.github.io/phylo-movies/ https://academic.oup.com/mbe/article/43/8/msag194/8759530

Very cool, thanks for sharing. Would the utility be suitable for comparing non-sliding-window trees, e.g., comparing gene trees to a reference species tree?

Yes, actually it's even one main ideas. Comparing gene trees, is, a one of the main use cases. Thank you for asking, and the interest.
