]. Still, the field would benefit from the development of automated and more flexible tools that can be used for a wide variety of species, not only to facilitate the detection of genetic clusters at any distance thresholds of a tree but also to automatically characterize them based on the available metadata variables of interest.
Here, we present ReporTree, an automated surveillance-oriented resource that allows diving into the complexity of pathogen diversity to rapidly identify genetic clusters at any distance thresholds between samples and further characterize them according to any relevant epidemiological indicator in a reproducible manner.
