The first version of FigTree was released nearly 20 years ago and it is still widely used (including by me). But there are currently 85 issues on the GitHub repo (github.com/rambaut/figt...) and some of them I don’t really like the look of.

Have you wondered if some E. clones are so successful because of their plasmids? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... A combination of bioinf and lab work showed that some plasmids have coexisted for centuries, and that a specific colicin gene is able to kill other clones paving their way for success!
