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  addition,  TREE-
       PPUZZLE  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.

       This program is the paralelized version of tree-puzzle.
