MaxTiC – Ranking Nodes in a Phylogeny using inferred Horizontal Gene Transfers

MaxTiC

:: DESCRIPTION

MaxTiC (Maximum Time Consistency) is a software which takes as input a species tree and a series of (possibly inconsistent) time constraints between its internal nodes, weighted by confidence scores.

HiDe 20120609 – Infer Highways of Horizontal Gene Transfer in the Evolutionary History of a set of Species

HiDe 20120609

:: DESCRIPTION

HiDe (short for Highway Detection) is a software package for inferring highways of horizontal gene transfer in the evolutionary history of a set of species. HiDe takes as input a collection of unrooted gene trees along with a rooted species tree.

GATU – Genome Annotation Transfer Utility

GATU

:: DESCRIPTION

GATU (Genome Annotation Transfer Utility) annotates a genome based on a very closely related reference genome. The proteins/mature peptides of the reference genome are BLASTed against the genome to be annotated in order to find the genes/mature peptides in the genome to be annotated.
