SplitsTree

SplitsTree

SplitsTree is a popular program for inferring phylogenetic trees or, more generally, phylogenetic networks from various types of data such as a sequence alignment, a distance matrix or a set of trees. According to its developers, SplitsTree uses published methods such as split decomposition neighbor-net, consensus network, super networks methods or methods for computing hybridization or simple recombination networks.
