| Mesquite |
Mesquite is software for evolutionary biology, designed to help
biologists analyze comparative data about organisms. Its emphasis is on
phylogenetic analysis, but some of its modules concern population
genetics, while others do non-phylogenetic multivariate analysis. |

| SEMPHY |
Tree reconstruction using the combined strengths of
