title: 'aptg: Automatic Phylogenetic Tree Generator'
version: 0.4.0
abstract: Generates phylogenetic trees and distance matrices from a list of taxon
  names, or from a higher taxon expanded down to a chosen lower rank. Trees are obtained
  as induced subtrees of the Open Tree of Life synthetic tree using the 'rotl' package
  (Michonneau, Brown and Winter, 2016, <https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.12593>).
  Expansion of a higher taxon to its descendants uses 'taxize' (Chamberlain and Szocs,
  2013, <https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.2-191.v2>).
