TREECON for Windows: a software package for the construction and drawing of evolutionary trees for the Microsoft Windows environment

Abstract

TREECON is a software package developed primarily for the construction and drawing of evolutionary trees based on distance data calculated from nucleic and amino acid sequences (Van de Peer and De Wachter, 1993).It implements several equations for converting dissimilarity (fraction of substitutions) into evolutionary distance and several algorithms for inferring tree topologies.Bootstrap analysis on sequence data (Felsenstein, 1985) is also File Save Show Delete Scale Select Topology
