- PAUP* PAUP is the most widely used package for phylogenetic inference, and now implements maximum likelihood and distance methods as well as various forms of parsimony. Powerful and very easy to use, particularly the Mac version.
- PHYLIP Joe Felsenstein's suite of programs implementing perhaps the widest range of phylogenetic inference package. The most widely distributed phylogeny software. Includes distance, likelihood and parsimony methods for a wide range of different types of data, and runs on most platforms.
- MacClade A powerful Macintosh package for phylogenetic analysis. Not intended as a stand-alone tool to infer phylogeny, but excels in studying character evolution. Also provides tools for entering and editing data and phylogenies and producing attractive tree diagrams and charts.
- TreeMap Experimental program for comparing host and parasite trees.
- PAL: Phylogenetic Analysis Library A collaborative effort to create a Java library for use in molecular evolution and phylogenetics
- RadCon A package implementing a wide range of consensus methods, including reduced consensus, and for calculation of MRP supertrees. Currently only available for Macs.
- Component For analysis of phlyogenies. Includes a wide range of randomisation methods, consensus methods, tree comparison measures, and calculates reconciled trees. Now aging, and available only for Windows machines, but still has some unique features. Much of the functionality is now replaced by RadCon, GeneTree, TreeMap and the latest release of PAUP.
- Nona - A Quick Guide to the Commands A brief overview of using Nona for phylogenetic analysis.
- TreeView Simple program for displaying phylogenies.
- GeneTree Uses reconciled trees to compare gene trees and species trees, explaining incongruence between the phylogenies by postulating horizontal transfer, gene duplication and loss events. Reprints of papers describing the methods are available from the GeneTree web page. Available for Macintosh and Windows.
- Phylodendron Java application for drawing phylogenetic trees. Allows you to save in various formats, print, edit, modify, and adorn the tree, and should work on any java runtime platform.
- Mesquite An experimental, prototype modular system for phylogenetic analysis. David and Wayne Maddison intend mesquite to be a Java environment for all phylogenetic analysis, with other authors contributing classes for particular analysis tasks. Still early days, but watch this space for news.
