Getting Started

Installation​

You can download Treemble from:

The current version of Treemble is v1.5.0

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 placed radially in circular tree mode). For unconstrained layouts see Manual Connections & Polytomies.
  • 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.
