It is a bit of time I was thinking that this post may be of
help to people intersted in genealogical network reconstruction under the
median joining algorihtm. www.Fluxus-engineering.com
provides, free of charge, the phylogenetic Network software in its as of today version
4.611. Network makes use of
the median joining algorithm to generate genealogical trees from DNA,
aminoacid, linguistic and other data but can also provide age estimates for the
ancestral nodes in the tree topology. I have used several times this software
in the past and I was impresed for its versatility, the graphics (compared to
TCS or Splitstree)
and its friendly interface. However, contrary to TCS and Splitstree, the Network team suggests
the use of “recommended” add-ons such as DNA Alignment, Network Publisher and pibase for importing
data without errors, create publication quality graphics and generating network
input files (.rdf) from next generation sequencing files respectively. Despite Network is freely distributed, the add-ons are
not.
