MATO (KaryoType)

Current tools for morphology and cytotaxonomy measurements face challenges in providing consistent results and compatibility with statistical analysis.

MATO (Measurement and Analysis Tools), an upgraded version of our previous KaryoType software, is introduced to address these shortcomings.

MATO improves chromosome measurements and karyotype analysis through the incorporation of size-based Karyotyping and a novel grouping algorithm.

This tool accommodates a wide variety of morphometric characters such as length, size, angle, count, and color, which are often employed in morphological studies.
