Phylogenetic Trees Made Easy

Easy trees ? — Review of ‘ ‘ Phylogenetic trees made easy : a how - to manual for molecular biologists

Within the biological sciences, phylogenetics has long been relegated to a selected sector of scientists interested in the evolutionary history of organisms. Recently, it has become widely accepted that molecular sequence data is best analyzed in a phylogenetic context if predictive statements are to be made concerning lineagebased relationships among genes in large gene families, origins of ge...

CTree: comparison of clusters between phylogenetic trees made easy

SUMMARY CTree has been designed for the quantification of clusters within viral phylogenetic tree topologies. Clusters are stored as individual data structures from which statistical data, such as the Subtype Diversity Ratio (SDR), Subtype Diversity Variance (SDV) and pairwise distances can be extracted. This simplifies the quantification of tree topologies in relation to inter- and intra-clust...

Interactive Tree Of Life v2: online annotation and display of phylogenetic trees made easy

Interactive Tree Of Life (http://itol.embl.de) is a web-based tool for the display, manipulation and annotation of phylogenetic trees. It is freely available and open to everyone. In addition to classical tree viewer functions, iTOL offers many novel ways of annotating trees with various additional data. Current version introduces numerous new features and greatly expands the number of supporte...

Book Review ''mactrees Made Easy''—review of ''phylogenetic Trees Made Easy: a How-to Manual for Molecular Biologists'' by Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution

We are living in the golden age of molecular phylogenetics. Phylogenetic trees are appearing everywhere, from specialized journals in molecular evolution and evolutionary genetics to specialty journals such as the Cell and Development. The practice of molecular phylogenetics now permeates most disciplines of molecular biology and genetics, as the summarizing and predictive power of phylogenetic...
