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 addition,
       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.
