About Spart Explorer

Spart Explorer has been designed by and for taxonomists. Fast and easy to use, it can be used without advanced bioinformatics skills. 

The Spart Explorer concept emerged from discussions among the developers of ABGD, ASAP, iTaxoTools and LIMES, most of them members of the ISYEB (Institut de Systématique, Evolution, Biodiversité at the MNHN, Paris), and from the observation that, while there are several methods to propose species hypotheses from DNA sequences, no tool was available to easily visualize and compare their results, i.e. the species partitions.

The TETTRIs consortium provided the infrastructure to make this project a reality, in collaboration with the Mosaic team.
