Phyrex 1.1 – Reconstruction of Continuous Character Trait Values at nodes of Phylogenetic Trees

Phyrex 1.1

:: DESCRIPTION

Phyrex (PHYlogenetic REconstruction by use of gene eXpression and alternate mRNA splicing patterns) is a program for reconstructing ancestral gene expression profiles and sequence data on a given phylogenetic tree. The program uses a Minimum Evolution algorithm to reconstruct the gene expression profiles and a combination of BaseML and ClustalW to reconstruct the ancestral sequences.

Contevol 1.01 – Continuous Character Evolution Teaching Program

Contevol 1.01

:: DESCRIPTION

Contevol is a simulation program designed for my class in Evolutionary Genetics. It allows the user to simulate the evolution of a quantitative character that is controlled by 5 loci, where there is a fitness function designed by the user. The user gets to see the distribution of the values of the quantitative character in a population, generation after generation. The genotypes that make up this distribution (or at any rate a representative sample of them) are displayed in the same histogram.
