PAUP*: Phylogenetic Analysis Using Parsimony (and Other Methods) 4.0 Beta
Sinauer Associates 公司的PAUP* 是目前使用最廣泛的演化分析軟體,其讀作Paup Star,而PAUP是Phylogenetic Analysis Using Parsimony 的縮寫。
PAUP*是一款用於構建進化樹(系統發育樹)並進行相關檢驗的軟體,包含了眾多分子演化模型和方法,可利用最大似然法、簡約法、距離法等方法分析分子數據(DNA、蛋白質序列)、形態學數據及其他類型的數據(如行為學數據)。該軟件主要用於演化生物學研究,也可用於生態學和法醫學研究。
PAUP* version 4.0 is a major upgrade and new release of the software package for inference of evolutionary trees, for use in Macintosh, Windows, UNIX/VMS, or DOS-based formats. The influence of high-speed computer analysis of molecular, morphological and/or behavioral data to infer phylogenetic relationships has expanded well beyond its central role in evolutionary biology, now encompassing applications in areas as diverse as conservation biology, ecology, and forensic studies. The success of previous versions of PAUP: Phylogenetic Analysis Using Parsimony has made it the most widely used software package for the inference of evolutionary trees. In addition, the PAUP manual has proven to be an essential guide, serving as a comprehensive introduction to phylogenetic analysis for beginning researchers, as well as an important reference for experts in the field. With the inclusion of maximum likelihood and distance methods in PAUP* 4.0, the new version represents a great improvement over its predecessors. In addition, the speed of the branch-and-bound algorithm has been enhanced and a number of new features have been added, from agreement subtrees to tests for combinability of data and permutation tests for nonrandomness of data structure. These, along with many other improvements, will make PAUP* 4.0 an even more indispensable tool in comparative biological analysis than were previous editions of the program and manual. PAUP* 4.0 and MacClade 3 use a common data file format (NEXUS), allowing easy interchange of data between the two programs.
