About MetaTree
MetaTree is an interactive web app for hierarchical taxonomy visualization and multi-group comparison.
It supports loading your own data tables, filtering by metadata, and exploring results in sample/group/comparison modes.
MetaTree is designed for microbiome and other hierarchical datasets where users need to compare multiple conditions quickly while keeping biological structure visible.
Key capabilities include hierarchical tree rendering, metadata-aware sample filtering, grouped analysis, pairwise comparison, and matrix-style multi-comparison views in one workflow.

Data Converter
Convert external inputs into MetaTree-compatible TSV. Supported sources are BIOM v1 JSON,
Newick plus a sidecar abundance table, and exported QIIME plain files. Direct .qza
and .qzv files are not supported.
.nwk, .newick, .tre.feature-table.biom is required. Add
taxonomy.tsv, rooted-tree.nwk, and sample-metadata.tsv
as needed. If both a tree and taxonomy are provided, the tree defines the hierarchy, and
tree tips must match the feature table exactly.
