This is a bioinformatics tool used to reconstruct phylogenetic trees from ASV (Amplicon Sequence Variant) sequences. It allows researchers to infer evolutionary relationships among microbial sequences based on their similarity. Phylogenetic trees are essential for diversity analyses, community comparisons, and ecological interpretation in microbial studies.

The program uses a FASTA file of ASV seed sequences and an abundance BIOM file as input. It constructs a phylogenetic tree, taking into account sequence similarities to infer branching relationships. It is designed for datasets with fewer than 10,000 sequences to ensure computational efficiency. Logs and HTML reports are generated to summarize the tree-building process and provide graphical visualization of results.
