Abstract
DNA-based phylogeny is indispensable in modern fungal taxonomy.However, the procedure of conducting phylogenetic analysis is pretty complicated, and mistakes are commonplace leading to results among different researchers with low reliability and reproducibility.On top of that, obtaining robust phylogenetic trees is also very time-consuming, which may cost researchers lots of time performing mostly repetitive operations.There is software offering functions to perform part or complete procedure of the phylogenetic analysis, but they are either too multi-functional or have limited functions.Therefore, we developed a click-and-run software named 'One-click Fungal Phylogenetic Tool' (https://ofpt.guhongxin.com),which automates and standardizes the repetitive process of constructing phylogenetic trees and does not require any additional operations while running.This software offers users a step-by-step process and requires only an Excel file with DNA sequence information to automatically generate phylogenetic trees, which will improve the efficiency of phylogenetic study and the reliability of resulting phylogenetic trees.
