Phylogenetic Post-Analysis

Visual Tree Comparer

A simple graphical tree comparison tool that visualizes differences between up to four different trees by highlighting the branches (bipartitions/splits) that are not shared among those trees.

AxParafit

Highly optimized versions of Pierre Legendre's Parafit and DistPCoA programs for statistical analysis of host-parasite coevolution.

Dppdiv

Next Generation Sequencing & Sequence Analysis

GapsMis

A tool for flexible pairwise sequence alignment with a variable, but bounded, number of gaps.

libgapmis

An ultrafast library for pairwise short-read alignment, based on GapMis, including accelerated SSE-based and GPU-based versions.

genesis

A toolkit for working with phylogenetic data, mainly for evolutionary placements of short NGS reads on a reference phylogenetic tree. The library supports many data types for phylogenetics, sequences, taxonomis, as well as a plethora of utility functions and tools. See also genesis-lib.org.

PaPaRa

PArsimony-based Phylogeny-Aware Read alignment program. The tool uses a given multipe sequence alignment and corresponding reference tree to align short reads for analysis with the EPA (Evolutionary Placement Algorithm).

MoTeX

An accurate and efficient tool for MoTif eXtraction.

ChromatoGate

A tool for analyzing and editing/correcting chromatogram data.

SATIVA

Semi-Automatic Taxonomy Improvement and Validation Algorithm. Identifies taxonomically mislabeled sequences and suggests corrections using EPA (Evolutionary Placement Algorithm).

EPA next generation

Stand-alone, much faster, and massively parallel re-implementation of the Evolutionary Placement Algorithm.

gappa

Analysis and visualization tool, mainly for metagenomic sequence analysis, which implements our phylogenetic placement pre- and post-processing methods, such as Edge Correlation, Phylogentic k-means, Placement-Factorization, and many others.

Population genetics

AnA-FiTS

A very fast forward-in-time simulator for population genetics.

Sweed

A parallel and checkpointable tool that implements a composite likelihood ratio test for detecting selective sweeps. SweeD is based on the SweepFinder algorithm.

OmegaPlus

A parallel tool for rapid & scalable detection of selective sweeps in whole-genome datasets using the omega statistic.

Web services

RAxML-Light Web-Service

Avaliable at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (supported by the NSF iPlant collaborative) To use this service you will first need to create an iPlant login here and subsequently log in on the CIPRES portal using your iPlant credentials.

WEB-Servers for RAxML-NG

The brand new web-server for the completely re-designed version of RAxML, called RAxML-NG is availablehere.

PTP Web-Service

Access the web server for species delimitation using our new PTP method.

MPTP Web Server

Access the new species delimitation web service using the new mptp approach. The MCMC version of mptp is now also offered as a web service here.

Miscellaneous

TreeCounter

Small program to compute the number of possible rooted and unrooted binary trees for n taxa or to compute the number of possible binary trees given a multi-furcating constraint tree.

SoftWipe

A tool and benchmark for assessing adherence of scientific software to coding quality standards.

Pythia

A tool to predict the difficulty of phylogenetic analysis of Multiple Sequence Alignments (MSA). Predicting the difficulty using Pythia is substantially faster than inferring multiple ML trees using RAxML-NG. Pythia can be used to increase user awareness with respect to the amount of signal and uncertainty to be expected in phylogenetic analyzes, and hence inform an appropriate (post-)analysis setup.
