phylogenetic tree - (Sep/23/2008 )

Hello everybody,

Does anyone know an easy to use software to make phylogenetic trees whith several sequences?

Thanks

The program you need to use is highly dependable on the number of sequences you are running.... But just to mention a few you can download Mr. Bayes, BioEdit, Mega, Treeview, ClustalX, and Dambe

i had used clustal x, mega and clustal w. They are free at the internet.

MEGA4 probably can do it all. It is more use-friendly in my opinion and it's free!

Convert everything into ONE big fasta file then just load it in MEGA4.

Yep I would use MEGA.
A small rule for creating valid trees as a newbie:
For very similar sequences identity greater than 80% use the Maximum Parsimony Method
between 30-80% NJ Method
Less than 30% use Maximum likelihood.

If you need more detailed information, message me or join the group phylogenetic analysis in ResearchGATE (see my signature)
