NEW TREEFINDER

[Gangolf Jobb]

A new TREEFINDER version is now available at

   http://www.treefinder.de!

There is a more realistic model for protein coding sequences, which
is assuming independent rates at the three codon positions. The
relative codon position rates can be estimated from the data. Codon
position heterogeneity can be combined orthogonally with the usual
Gamma heterogeneity and all the substitution models up to the GTR.

TREEFINDER can now perform ML bootstrap analysis to assess the
confidence of inferred relationships. As a special feature, it has
a consensus routine that is producing trees with edge lengths.

The possibility of specifying topological constraints lets one
incorporate ideas about the prior distribution of phylogenetic trees
to direct the search.

As usual, the new version is coming with an improved graphical
frontend and some minor bug-fixes. The tree viewer is now accepting
rooted trees as an input.

TREEFINDER is available for Windows, Linux and the Mac.
