Genie

Posted on March 25, 2004 by Dan Gezelter

A program for the inference of demographic history from molecular phylogenies. It is primarily designed for the analysis of phylogenies reconstructed from highly variable viral gene sequences, but can be applied to other types of sequence data that contains a … Continue reading →

Phylogen

Posted on March 25, 2004 by Dan Gezelter

Phylogen implements some straight-forward birth-death models for simulating phylogenies. It is intended to be fast and flexible and can simulate very large trees (depending on memory and speed of computer). It will then optionally reconstruct trees only containing extant lineages … Continue reading →
