In this episode,

David Dylus talks aboutRead2Tree,a tool that builds alignment matrices and phylogenetic trees from rawsequencing reads.By leveraging the database of orthologous genes called OMA, Read2Tree bypasses traditional, time-consuming steps such as genome assembly, annotation and all-versus-all sequence comparisons.
