Phylo-Movies Browser Demo: Generated Phylogenetic Examples

Open generated Phylo-Movies examples directly in the browser without backend processing. The demo includes a norovirus sliding-window recombination dataset, IQ-TREE bootstrap rogue-taxon tree series, an IQ-TREE fast-search trajectory, a paper figure example, a quick MSA-linked tree set, and a 1000-taxon scale-limit payload.

Generated Demo Datasets

Each row in the live demo opens a precomputed Phylo-Movies JSON payload. No upload form or BranchArchitect backend is required for these bundled examples.

What This Demo Helps Discover

Norovirus Recombination

Inspect topology changes and SH-aLRT support across generated IQ-TREE trees inferred from the 334-taxon norovirus MSA.

Rogue Taxa in Bootstrap Trees

Review subtree movement, split support, and SPR recurrence across composition-ranked IQ-TREE bootstrap tree series.

IQ-TREE Search Trajectory

Inspect how topology changes across the complete fast-search trajectory for a 500-taxon benchmark alignment.

Large Tree Visualization

Open a generated 1000-taxon two-tree payload for browser scale-limit inspection.
