Abstract

A phylogenetic tree represents the evolutionary history of a group of organisms. In this work, we introduce a novel interactive tool for constructing phylogenetic trees, phylogenetic tree construction package. The package supports four well-known algorithms, unweighted pair group method using arithmetic average, neighbor joining, Fitch Margoliash, and maximum parsimony.
