NJplot 2.4 – Phylogenetic Tree Drawing Program

NJplot 2.4

:: DESCRIPTION

NJplot is a tree drawing program able to draw any phylogenetic tree expressed in the Newick phylogenetic tree format (e.g., the format used by the PHYLIP package). NJplot is especially convenient for rooting the unrooted trees obtained from parsimony, distance or maximum likelihood tree-building methods.

Unrooted – Draw Binary Tree Expressed in the standard Phylogenetic Tree Format

Unrooted

:: DESCRIPTION

Unrooted is a tree drawing program able to draw any binary tree expressed in the standard phylogenetic tree format (e.g., the format used by the PHYLIP package). Trees are drawn in an unrooted way, that is, using a circular shape, with labels aligned with terminal branches.

Treevolution 1.2 – Visual Analysis of Phylogenetic Trees

Treevolution 1.2

:: DESCRIPTION

Treevolution is a Java tool for the representation and exploration of phylogenetic trees that facilitates visual analysis. There are several useful tools to visualize phylogenetic trees, but their level of interaction is usually low, especially in the case of radial representations. Highly interactive visualizations can improve the exploration and understanding of phylogenetic trees. Treevolution implements strategies to interact with phylogenetic trees in order to allow a more thorough analysis by users.

Ktreedist 1.0 – Calculation of the Minimum Branch Length Distance (K tree score) between Phylogenetic Trees

Ktreedist 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

Ktreedist is a computer program written in Perl that calculates the minimum branch length distance from one phylogenetic tree to another, providing a measure of the difference in topology and relative branch lengths (shape) between two trees

SSA 1.0 – Inference of Maximum Likelihood Phylogenetic Trees Using a Stochastic Search Algorithm

SSA 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

SSA is a program for inferring maximum likelihood phylogenies from DNA sequences. Two versions of the program are available: one which assumes a molecular clock and one which does not make this assumption. The method for searching the space of trees for the ML tree is based on a simulated-annealing type algorithm and is described in the reference above. The program implements Felsenstein’s F84 model of nucleotide substitution and associated sub-models. The program estimates the ML tree and branch lengths, and can optionally estimate the transversion/transversion ratio. Upon termination, the program returns the k trees of highest likelihood found during the search, where k can be set by the user.
