Experimental program for comparing host and parasite trees.

Simple program for displaying phylogenies.

For analysis of phylogenies. Includes a wide range of randomization methods, consensus methods, tree comparison measures, and calculates reconciled trees. Now aging, and available only for Windows machines, but still has some unique features. Much of the functionality is now replaced by RadCon, GeneTree, TreeMap and the latest release of PAUP.

Java application for drawing phylogenetic trees. Allows you to save in various formats, print, edit, modify, and adorn the tree, and should work on any java runtime platform.

Uses reconciled trees to compare gene trees and species trees, explaining incongruence between the phylogenies by postulating horizontal transfer, gene duplication and loss events. Reprints of papers describing the methods are available from the GeneTree web page. Available for Macintosh and Windows.

Computer program to reconstruct phylogenetic trees from molecular sequence data by maximum likelihood.

A brief overview of using NONA for phylogenetic analysis.

Graphical color interface for molecular phylogenetic inference. It performs neighbor-joining, parsimony, and maximum likelihood methods and bootstrap with any of them.

Phylogenetic analyses of DNA or protein sequences using maximum likelihood.

Experimental, modular software for evolutionary biology, designed to help biologists analyze comparative data about organisms.

PAUP is the most widely used package for phylogenetic inference, and now implements maximum likelihood and distance methods as well as various forms of parsimony. Powerful and very easy to use, particularly the Mac version.

Open source software for estimation of phylogenies using Bayesian inference.
