This is a small subset of available phylogenetic programs. If you are looking for more programs/options try this list compiled by Joseph Felsenstein.

Main phylogenetic programs we will use in class

  • MAFFT sequence alignment
  • FigTree drawing phylogenetic trees
  • PAUP* Phylogenetic Analysis Using Parsimony PAUP
  • TNT for a parsimony analysis
  • PHYLIP, for various analysis and some obscure methods
  • FastME distance analysis
  • RAxML-NG Maximum Likelihood analysis
  • IQ-TREE
  • MrBayes Bayesian analysis
  • PAML hypothesis testing
  • Beast2 molecular clock analysis
  • BayesTraits comparative studies

Other programs that can be useful

  • Clustal (Omega, W and X) alternative MSA programs
  • readAI conversion among various MSA formats
  • TrimAI selecting most reliable positions in an MSA
  • Gblocks an older program for removing poorly aligned regions of MSA
  • PHYML for a simple ML analysis
  • PhyloBayes & Coevol for a fancy Bayesian analysis
  • RevBayes Bayesian phylogenetic inference using probabilistic graphical models and an interpreted language
  • Dendroscope an alternative program for drawing phylogenetic trees
  • iTOL an online tool for the display, annotation and management of phylogenetic trees
  • Mesquite
  • TRACER analyzing Bayesian output
  • Seq-Gen simulate sequence evolution on a phylogeny
