系统发育树的图形被广泛用于说明进化分析的结果。然而，人们不能容易地从这样的图像中提取机器可读表示。因此，出现了新的软件，有助于以数字方式保存基因，以供未来研究。TreeSnatcher Plus是一个GUI驱动的JAVA应用程序，它半自动地生成一个Newick格式，用于像素图像中包含的多叉，任意形状的系统发育树。它提供了一系列图像预处理方法，并在用户的帮助下检测所描绘的树的拓扑结构。用户监督识别过程，对图像和拓扑结构进行校正，并在必要时重复步骤。最后，TreeSnatcher Plus生成一个Newick树代码，可选地包括矩形树和自由形式树的分支长度。虽然有大量的风格的插图，但TreeSnatcher Plus对它可以在足够的用户帮助下处理的图像没有任何限制。鉴于系统发育树的所有数字的全自动数字化是可取的，但目前不现实的，TreeSnatcher Plus是唯一的程序，可靠地促进至少从这些数字到机器可读格式的半自动转换。
Figures of phylogenetic trees are widely used to illustrate the result of evolutionary analyses. However, one cannot easily extract a machine-readable representation from such images. Therefore, new software emerges that helps to preserve phylogenies digitally for future research. TreeSnatcher Plus is a GUI-driven JAVA application that semi-automatically generates a Newick format for multifurcating, arbitrarily shaped, phylogenetic trees contained in pixel images. It offers a range of image pre-processing methods and detects the topology of a depicted tree with adequate user assistance. The user supervises the recognition process, makes corrections to the image and to the topology and repeats steps if necessary. At the end TreeSnatcher Plus produces a Newick tree code optionally including branch lengths for rectangular and freeform trees. Although illustrations of phylogenies exist in a vast number of styles, TreeSnatcher Plus imposes no limitations on the images it can process with adequate user assistance. Given that a fully automated digitization of all figures of phylogenetic trees is desirable but currently unrealistic, TreeSnatcher Plus is the only program that reliably facilitates at least a semi-automatic conversion from such figures into a machine-readable format.
