TREE-PUZZLE(1)						      General Commands Manual						    TREE-PUZZLE(1)

NAME

       tree-puzzle - Reconstruction of phylogenetic trees by maximum likelihood

SYNOPSIS

       tree-puzzle

DESCRIPTION

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

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

       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-PUZZLE 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-PUZZLE offers a novel method, likelihood mapping, to investigate the support of a hypothesized internal branch without computing
       an overall tree and to visualize the phylogenetic content of a sequence alignment.

       There is also a paralellized version tree-ppuzzle available.

OPTIONS

       There are no options. For usage please look at /usr/share/doc/tree-puzzle/tree-puzzle.pdf.
