Motivation: We introduce HaploGrouper, a versatile software to classify haplotypes into haplogroups on the basis of a known phylogenetic tree. A typical use case for this software is the assignment of haplogroups to human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) or Y-chromosome haplotypes. Existing state-of-the-art haplogroup-calling software is typically hard-wired to work only with either mtDNA or Y-chromosome haplotypes from humans.
Results: HaploGrouper exhibits comparable accuracy in these instances and has the advantage of being able to assign haplogroups to any kind of haplotypes from any species-given an extant annotated phylogenetic tree defined by sequence variants.
Availability And Implementation: The software is available at the following URL https://gitlab.com/bio_anth_decode/haploGrouper.
Supplementary Information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Background: The Sec14 domain is an ancient lipid-binding domain that evolved from yeast Sec14p and performs complex lipid-mediated regulatory functions in subcellular organelles and intracellular traffic. The Sec14 family is characterized by a highly conserved Sec14 domain, and is ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells and has diverse functions. However, the number and characteristics of Sec14 homologous genes in soybean, as well as their potential roles, remain understudied.

The evolutionary history underlying gradients in species richness is still subject to discussions and understanding the past niche evolution might be crucial in estimating the potential of taxa to adapt to changing environmental conditions. In this study we intend to contribute to elucidation of the evolutionary history of liverwort species richness distributions along elevational gradients at a global scale. For this purpose, we linked a comprehensive data set of genus occurrences on mountains worldwide with a time-calibrated phylogeny of liverworts and estimated mean diversification rates (DivElev) and mean ages (AgeElev) of the respective genera per elevational band.
