Molecular Evolution and Phylogenetics

The programs in lintrdos.exe are for (1) testing the molecular clock on a given topology of a phylogenetic tree and (2) making linearized trees (reestimating branch lengths under the assumption of constant rate of evolutions. The data that can be used are nucleotide or amino acid sequences.

For details of the methods, please look at "Phylogenetic tests of the
molecular clock and linearized trees" (Molecular Biology and Evolution 12:
823-833, 1995).

(1) Ftp lintrdos.exe and lintrdos.readme onto your system in the binary mode.
(2) Type lintrdos
(3) Read the read.me file first.

The programs are compiled for MSDOS.
There are 32 bit executables and 16 bit executables. 16 bit executables
may work only a small data set.
The source codes of the programs are availble in files: njboot.src.exe,
tpcv.src.exe, branch.src.exe, branbst.src.exe, postree.src.exe.
