PhylPro Version 1.00 (18 December 2003)

G. F. Weiller

An Interactive Computer Graphics Program for detecting genetic recombinations in homologous sequences.

Phylogenetic Profiles constitute a novel way of graphically displaying the coherence of the sequence relationships over the entire length of a set of aligned homologous sequences. Using a sliding-window technique, this method determines the pairwise distances of all sequences in the windows and evaluates, for each sequence, the degree to which the patterns of distances in these regions agree. This method is suited for exploring data consistently as well as detecting recombinant sequences. For more information consult the Phylpro manual .

Reference publication Weiller G. F. (1998) Phylogenetic Profiles: A Graphical Method for Detecting Genetic Recombibations in Homologous Sequences . Molecular Biology and Evolution 15(3): 326-335.

System requirements Phylpro will run on the following systems: Windows XP, NT, 98, 95 and Windows 3.1 (with win32s.exe installed). Note: Mac systems will need a Windows emulator (e.g. Virtual PC, Softwindows).
