DupTree
|
Scale gene tree parsimony analysis made easy. DupTree is a program for phylogenetic analyses using gene tree parsimony. That is, given a collection
of binary gene trees, DupTree searches for a species supertree that implies the fewest number of gene
duplication events. The user input is a list of rooted or unrooted, binary gene trees in Newick format.
DupTree first builds an intitial species tree using a stepwise addition algorithm. Next, DupTree
searches for a better species tree using a standard search heuristic of choice starting from the initial
species tree. The output is a species tree(s) with the lowest reconciliation cost among all trees
encountered during the heuristic search, along with the reconciliation cost for each individual gene
tree.
