MDIV – Estimate Divergence Times and Migration Rates between two Populations

MDIV

:: DESCRIPTION

MDIV is a program that will simultaneously estimate divergence times and migration rates between two populations under the infinite sites model and under a finite sites model (HKY). The program can be used to test if there is evidence for migration between two populations or evidence for shared recent common ancestry. In addition, you get maximum likelihood estimates of the demographic parameters.

TIMER 0.1 – Estimate Divergence Times

TIMER 0.1

:: DESCRIPTION

TIMER estimates the divergence times using linearized-tree approach. Compared with the program LINTREE (Takezaki et al. 1995), TIMER has more user-friendly interface. More importantly, TIMER can be used to estmate divergence times for concatenated or very large set of genes (proteins).
