TREE-PUZZLE is a computer program to reconstruct phylogenetic trees from
molecular sequence data by maximum likelihood. It 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 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. TREE-PUZZLE also conducts a number of statistical tests on
the data set (chi-square test for homogeneity of base composition, likelihood
ratio clock test, Kishino-Hasegawa test). The models of substitution provided by
TREE-PUZZLE are TN, HKY, F84, SH for nucleotides, Dayhoff, JTT, mtREV24, VT,
WAG, BLOSUM 62 for amino acids, and F81 for two-state data. Rate heterogeneity
is modeled by a discrete Gamma distribution and by allowing invariable sites.
The corresponding parameters can be inferred from the data set.
