Using GenGIS to investigate the distribution of photorhodopsin genes around the Galapagos Islands (data courtesy of <Rob... who did we get this data from - Adrian?>).

Software

Key: P = phylogenetics, S = statistics, B = biogeography, V = visualization, G = genomics, M = metagenomics, L = lateral genetic transfer

• GenGIS: an application that allows users to combine digital map data with information about biological sequences collected from the environment. GenGIS provides a 3D graphical interface in which the user can navigate and explore the data, as well as a Python interface that allows easy scripting of statistical analyses using the Rpy libraries. (PSBVM)

• Radié: a tool that allows characters to be visualized against the background of a phylogenetic tree. The software includes several different visual and numeric representations of the ‘convexity’ of a given character, in other words the extent to which different character traits form distinct groups within the tree. (PV)

• STAMP: (SMV)

• EvolSimulator: A simulation test bed for hypotheses of genome evolution. (PL)

• EEEP (Efficient Evaluation of Edit Paths): software to infer putative pathways of lateral genetic transfer by comparing gene trees against a rooted reference tree (PL)

• VAREB?

• WOOF?

• GANN?
