Getting Started

Installation​

You can download Treemble from:

The current version of Treemble is v1.3.3

System requirements:​

  • macOS: macOS Catalina (10.15) or later
  • Windows: Windows 10 or later

First Launch​

Once launched, you'll see the blank window. You can begin by loading a phylogenetic tree image. Either drag and drop your image file directly onto the Treemble window, or use File ▾ → Choose Tree Image

Supported image formats: PNG, JPEG (JPG), GIF, WebP, BMP, and SVG.

You can launch the Quick Start Guide within Treemble for a quick overview: Help ▾ → Quick Start Guide

Tree Requirements​

There are two requirements for Treemble to work:

  • The tree should be oriented with the root at the left and tips at the right (or they can be placed radially in circular tree mode). Treemble cannot handle free form trees.
  • The tree must be bifurcating, i.e. every internal node must have exactly two child nodes. However, if there are nodes with more than 2 child nodes, you can still extract the tree with Treemble by placing extra nodes to create bifurcations with ~0 length.
