ETE Toolkit (ETE3): Python phylogenetic tree analysis and visualization. Parse Newick/NHX/PhyloXML, traverse/annotate nodes, render figures with TreeStyle/NodeStyle, integrate NCBI taxonomy, run PhyloTree comparative genomics. Use for species trees, gene family evolution, annotated tree figures.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# ETE Toolkit: Phylogenetic Tree Analysis and Visualization

## Overview

ETE Toolkit (ETE3) is a Python framework for phylogenetic tree exploration, manipulation, and publication-quality visualization. It supports reading and writing Newick, NHX, PhyloXML, and NeXML formats, rich node annotation, programmatic tree traversal, NCBI taxonomy integration, and a flexible rendering engine for customizable tree figures. ETE3 is widely used in comparative genomics, phylogenomics, and evolutionary biology workflows.

## When to Use

- Parse phylogenetic trees from Newick, NHX, PhyloXML, or NeXML files and programmatically traverse or modify topology
- Annotate tree nodes with metadata (bootstrap values, gene names, taxonomic ranks, expression data) for visualization or downstream analysis
- Render publication-quality tree figures with custom node shapes, colors, branch widths, and face decorations using TreeStyle and NodeStyle
- Map NCBI taxonomy IDs to lineage information, validate species names, or build taxonomy-aware trees
- Compute evolutionary statistics: branch lengths, tree distances (Robinson-Foulds), LCA queries, monophyly tests

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/etetoolkit@sha256:947411838f544634

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260428.81ea2d2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
