PhyloToL part one takes input sequences from a whole genome or transcriptome assembly, applies several curation steps, and provides initial homology assessment against a customizable database of reference sequences to assign GFs. Part one outputs a fasta file of curated nucleotide and amino acid sequences with gene families assigned, as well as a dataset of descriptive statistics (e.g. length, coverage, and composition) for each input sample. PhyloToL part 2 is highly modular; for a given selection of taxa and GFs it stringently assesses homology by iterating the tool Guidance (Penn et al., 2010; Sela et al., 2015), which outputs an MSA for each gene family. From MSAs it builds gene trees, and then includes an innovative workflow for tree topology-based contamination removal. +We also provide + # Table of Contents ## PhyloToL Part I = determining gene families
