<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Phylogenetic studies now routinely
require manipulating and summarizing thousands of data files. For most of
these tasks, currently available software requires considerable computing
resources and substantial knowledge of command‐line applications. We develop
an ultrafast and memory‐efficient software, SEGUL, that performs common
phylogenomic dataset manipulations and calculates statistics summarizing
essential data features. Our software is available as standalone
command‐line interface (CLI) and graphical user interface (GUI)
applications, and as a library for Rust, R and Python, with possible support
of other languages. The CLI and library versions run native on Windows,
Linux and macOS, including Apple ARM Macs. The GUI version extends support
to include mobile iOS, iPadOS and Android operating systems. SEGUL leverages
the high performance of the Rust programming language to offer fast
execution times and low memory footprints regardless of dataset size and
platform choice. The inclusion of a GUI minimizes bioinformatics barriers to
phylogenomics while SEGUL's efficiency reduces economic barriers by allowing
analysis on inexpensive hardware. Our support for mobile operating systems
further enables teaching phylogenomics where access to computing power is
limited.</jats:p>
