DNAdistree Description

DNAdistree is designed to infer distance-based phylogenetic trees that display accurate topological relationships among species. More precisely, DNAdistree performs several successive steps: 1. it reads DNA sequence alignments (nucleotides or codons); 2. it estimates unbiased pairwise distances between each pair of sequences. For that aim, DNAdistree uses numerous formulae often based on evolutionary models of both DNA or codon models (see here for more details); 3. it builds phylogenetic tree thanks to four agglomerative algorithms; 4. it computes statistical measures related to distance matrices and/or distance-based trees. Nevertheless, DNAdistree is not designed to estimate robust branch lengths; it is recommended to use Fitch (in the PHYLIP package), FastME, PhyML or PAML with the trees inferred by DNAdistree as user tree for more precise distance- or ML-based branch length estimates. Give DNAdistree a try to see what it's really capable of!
