International audience. Various bioinformatics protocols have been developed for trimming the number of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in phylogenetic datasets, but they typically require significant manual intervention. Here we present TreeTuner, a semi-automated pipeline that allows both coarse and fine-scale tuning of large protein sequence phylogenetic datasets via the minimization of OTU redundancy. TreeTuner facilitates preliminary investigation of such datasets as well as more rigorous downstream analysis of specific subsets of OTUs.
