Annotations QUick Analysis for PhylOgeNY Javascript tree viewer for Beast
ETE toolkit Tree Vieweran online tool for phylogenetic tree view that allows multiple sequence alignments to be shown together with the trees
EvolViewan online tool for visualizing, annotating and managing phylogenetic trees
Client-side Javascript SVG viewer for annotated rooted trees. Also supports phylogenetic networks
IrokiAutomatic customization and visualization of phylogenetic trees
iTOL - interactive Tree Of Lifeannotate trees with various types of data and export to various graphical formats; scriptable through a batch interface
MicroreactLink, visualise and explore sequence and meta-data using phylogenetic trees, maps and timelines
OneZoomuses IFIG to display phylogenetic trees which can be zoomed in on to increase detail
LifemapFractal-like representation to provide an interactive explorer of the tree of life "à la google maps"
Phylo.ioView and compare up to 2 trees side by side with interactive HTML5 visualisations
PhyloExplorera tool to facilitate assessment and management of phylogenetic tree collections. Given an input collection of rooted trees, PhyloExplorer provides facilities for obtaining statistics describing the collection, correcting invalid taxon names, extracting taxonomically relevant parts of the collection using a dedicated query language, and identifying related trees in the TreeBASE database.
PHYLOViZ OnlineWeb-based tool for visualization, phylogenetic inference, analysis and sharing of minimum spanning trees
PhyloWidgetview, edit, and publish phylogenetic trees online; interfaces with databases
PRESTOa Phylogenetic tReE viSualisaTion.
web-based tool for exploration of very large trees including those with millions of nodes, with search and metadata coloring. When provided with a mutation-annotated tree, it illustrates mutations on the tree and displays final genotypes.
T-REX (Webserver)Tree inference and visualization, Horizontal gene transfer detection and HGT network visualization
TidyTreeA client-side HTML5/SVG Phylogenetic Tree Renderer, based on D3.js
TreeVectorscalable, interactive, phylogenetic trees for the web, produces dynamic SVG or PNG output, implemented in Java
