PhyDesign – Phylogenetic Informativeness Analysis

PhyDesign

:: DESCRIPTION

PhyDesign is a platform-independent online application that implements the Townsend phylogenetic informativeness analysis, providing a quantitative prediction of the utility of loci to solve specific phylogenetic questions. An easy-to-use interface facilitates uploading of alignments and ultrametric trees to calculate and depict profiles of informativeness over specified time ranges, and provides rankings of locus prioritization for epochs of interest.
