[Taxacom] raxmlGUI 1.0 released

[Ingo Michalak]

Dear all,

we have released raxmlGUI 1.0, an easy-to-use graphical interface for 
RAxML (Stamatakis, 2006) at http://sourceforge.net/projects/raxmlgui/
The following main features are available:
* Perform all main RAxML phylogenetic analyses through an intuitive 
graphical interface:
- Maximum Likelihood searches
- Bootstrap (BS) analyses
- Constructing consensus trees
- Ancestral state reconstruction
- Increase branch supports by pruning "rogue taxa" from your data (drop 
set function, Pattengale et al. 2011)
* "Bootstopping" function to automatically determine the necessary 
number of BS replicates
* Analyse mixed data sets (any combination of nucleotide, amino acid, 
binary, and multi-state data is possible)
* Convert RAxML consensus trees to be compatible with the program FigTree
* A detailed manual is available in html and pdf format.

raxmlGUI is described in our application note:
