  • TreeView X

  • TreeView X is an open source program to display phylogenetic trees on Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and Windows platforms. It can read and display NEXUS and Newick format tree files (such as those output by PAUP*, Clustal X, TREE-PUZZLE, and other programs). It has a subset of the functionality of the version of TreeView available for the Mac Classic and Windows (it is roughly equivalent to version 0.95 of TreeView).

  • Dendroscope

  • Researchers studying phylogenetic relationships need software that is able to visualize rooted phylogenetic trees and networks efficiently, increasingly of large datasets involving hundreds of thousands of taxa. The program should be user friendly (easy to run on all popular operating systems), facilitate interactive browsing and editing the trees and allow one to export the result in multiple file formats in publication quality. In addition, there is a need for a program that allows one to compute rooted phylogenetic networks from trees. ยป
