FIGURE 7 in iTaxoTools 0.1: Kickstarting a specimen-based software toolkit for taxonomists

FIGURE 7. Screenshot of the GUI-based version of ABGD, a program that delimits species by detecting the barcoding gap from pairwise single-locus sequence distances (Puillandre et al. 2012). For this tool, the original ABGD code written in C was wrapped with a Python GUI and compiled as standalone executable. The different output files produced by ABGD (text and graphs) can be selected and pre-viewed within the GUI.

FIGURE 6. Screenshot of the GUI-based version of PTP, a program that delimits species from non-ultrametric trees. The original Python code of PTP was written by Zhang et al. (2013); iTaxoTools adds the GUI, as well as functionality to export species partition in the SPART format (Miralles et al. 2021).

FIGURE 4. Screenshot of spartmapper, a tool that plots distribution records from geographical coordinates on a map and categorizes the records based on a species partition provided as SPART file (Miralles et al. 2021). The program allows live view and produces a kml file to visualize the records in Google Earth or Google Maps.

FIGURE 3. Screenshot of one of the newly programmed quick conversion tools, dnaconvert, which implements numerous autocorrect options to avoid sequence output files generating errors in downstream programs. dnaconvert also supports tabdelimited table input and its conversion to common sequence formats such as FASTA, NEXUS, or PHYLIP, to facilitate storage and management of sequences and sequence metadata in spreadsheet editors such as Microsoft Excel.

FIGURE 1 in iTaxoTools 0.1: Kickstarting a specimen-based software toolkit for taxonomists

FIGURE 1. Overview of the various tools implemented in iTaxoTools, and their scope. In the present version a focus is on molecular data analysis, but more functionalities to analyze and visualize morphological and geographic data will be implemented in the near future, while data integration remains the main focus for long-term implementation.
