PhyBin is a simple command line tool that classifies a set of Newick tree files by their topology. The purpose of it is to take a large set of tree files and browse through the most common tree topologies.

It can do simple binning of identical trees or more complex clustering based on an all-to-all Robinson-Foulds distance matrix.

phybin produces output files that characterize the size and contents of each bin or cluster (including generating GraphViz-based visual representations of the tree topologies).
