Description
Qing Wu and others offer MetaTree, a web tool for lining up tree-shaped data across groups, in a 2026 paper. Gut germ profiles and like data form trees, but lining up groups while keeping that tree shape has meant slow hand-made charts.
MetaTree pins groups, contrasts, and each group to one shared tree, so the same branch is weighed in the same spot in each view. It adds group tests with false-find control, plus knobs for colors, cutoffs, and filters. Lab teams now have a free, browser-based tool for reading group gaps in tree data in their true context.
