Introduces --iqtree-min-freq (default 0.001) to treat low-frequency nucleotide states as missing data during IQ-TREE alignment generation when --free-loss is active. This triggers a recoding pass that folds rare states into the missing symbol, followed by non-informative site removal and alphabet recomputation to maintain output consistency. The change also adds Sankoff model configuration files and updates related tests and documentation.
Generates a new CSV output that maps IQ-TREE's compact state symbols to canonical states alongside full-precision empirical frequencies. Updates documentation to clarify that state frequencies sum to 1.0 by design and documents conditional behavior under `--free-loss`. Includes unit tests verifying absent state exclusion, frequency summation, and CSV structure. Also restricts entropy annex resolution to non-monomorphic minorants to eliminate redundant per-genome checks.
Restructure the output files section into categorized subsections with tables. Add explicit mappings between command-line options and generated files. Define CSV matrix conventions, clarify mathematical formulas for distance calculations, and document execution commands for external phylogenetic tools.
Introduce the obikmer name-tree subcommand to map numeric leaf labels in phylogenetic tree exports back to taxon names using a reference FASTA file. Correct the --free-loss flag behavior by removing cardinality transition costs from pairwise cost calculations, ensuring sibling gains and losses are priced identically to whole-family events. Update documentation, configuration parameters, and add reference phylogenetic data files.
Introduces CLI flags for computing pairwise family overlap matrices and filtering genomes below a shared family threshold. Adds a free-loss mode that recodes locus non-detection states to missing data symbols in Sankoff-calibrated alignments, resolving ascertainment bias handling for IQ-TREE. Updates empirical transition parameters, removes the legacy model asset, and extends output writers for CSV diagnostics, FASTA pseudo-alignments, and Newick trees.
Rename the distance CLI subcommand to phylo across the codebase, documentation, and build configurations. Relocate source files from cmd/distance/ to a dedicated cmd/phylo/ module, update all internal routing references, and adjust benchmark scripts and Makefile targets to reflect the new command name.
