This is a simple python script for subsetting Newick trees based on SNP distance. A specific file structure is expected for the directory containing the trees. The order of scripts to run is reduce.py -> convert.py -> download.py
For the download script, both sratoolkit and NCBI datasets need to be installed.
These scripts were primarily used to subset the Candida auris isolates downloaded from the NCBI Pathogens Detection database.
