Keywords: computational biology; phylogenetic trees; Web service

Abstract:
In this paper, we describe a tool, called Anacê, to draw phylogenetic trees in diverse topologies. Available via Web service, and developed in Scala, this tool can be used in any computational platform in the interactive form or as subprograms in any application or programming language. The generated trees is exported in SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) image formats that are independent of computational platforms. The tool easily draws trees from the distinct forms of tree's representation, generated by other software. It is meant to be used by researchers and as a learning tool.
