Use Bio.Phylo to read/write phylogenetic trees and perform visualization and statistics; use when tree parsing/conversion, pruning/rerooting, distance calculation, or plotting is required.

When to use

• Converting phylogenetic tree files between Newick, NEXUS, and phyloXML formats.
• Traversing a tree to locate clades, prune taxa, or reroot at a specific node/outgroup.
• Computing pairwise distances, distance matrices, or basic tree statistics (e.g., branch length summaries).
• Producing quick tree visualizations as ASCII output for logs/CLI workflows.
• Generating publication-ready plots of trees using Matplotlib.
