aptg: Automatic Phylogenetic Tree Generator

Generates phylogenetic trees and distance matrices from a list of taxon names, or from a higher taxon expanded down to a chosen lower rank. Trees are obtained as induced subtrees of the Open Tree of Life synthetic tree using the 'rotl' package (Michonneau, Brown and Winter, 2016, <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12593>). Expansion of a higher taxon to its descendants uses 'taxize' (Chamberlain and Szocs, 2013, <doi:10.12688/f1000research.2-191.v2>).
