NAME

       tree-ppuzzle - Reconstruction of phylogenetic trees by maximum likelihood (parallelized version)

SYNOPSIS

       tree-ppuzzle

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents briefly the tree-ppuzzle command.	This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because
       the original program does not have a manual page.

       TREE-PPUZZLE is the new name for the program previously known as PPUZZLE!

       tree-puzzle is an interactive console program that implements a fast tree search algorithm, quartet puzzling, that allows analysis of large
       data  sets and automatically assigns estimations of support to each internal branch. TREE-PPUZZLE also computes pairwise maximum likelihood
       distances as well as branch lengths for user specified trees. Branch lengths can also be calculated under the  clock-assumption.  In  addi-
       tion,  TREE-PPUZZLE offers a novel method, likelihood mapping, to investigate the support of a hypothesized internal branch without comput-
       ing an overall tree and to visualize the phylogenetic content of a sequence alignment.

       This program is the paralelized version of tree-puzzle.
