We introduce PhyloJunction, a computational framework designed to facilitate the prototyping, test- ing, and characterization of evolutionary models. PhyloJunction is distributed as an open-source Python library that can be used to implement a variety of models, thanks to its flexible graphical modeling architecture and dedicated model specification language. Model design and use are exposed to users via command-line and graphical interfaces, which integrate the steps of simulating, summarizing, and visualizing data. This paper describes the features of PhyloJunction – which include, but are not limited to, a general implementation of a popular family of phylogenetic diversification models – and, moving forward, how it may be expanded to not only include new models, but to also become a platform for conducting and teaching statistical learning

PhyloJunction：用于模拟、开发和教授进化模型的计算框架


我们引入了 PhyloJunction，这是一个计算框架，旨在促进进化模型的原型设计、测试和表征。 PhyloJunction 作为开源 Python 库进行分发，凭借其灵活的图形建模架构和专用模型规范语言，可用于实现各种模型。模型设计和使用通过命令行和图形界面向用户公开，集成了模拟、汇总和可视化数据的步骤。本文描述了 PhyloJunction 的特征——包括但不限于流行的系统发育多样化模型家族的一般实现——以及展望未来，它如何扩展以不仅包含新模型，而且还成为进行和教授统计学习的平台
