Older Software

The following software packages have largely been superseded by others in the above list, or by software written by others. The software should still work, but we can no longer offer significant support for it.

  • EvolSimulator: a simulation test bed for hypotheses of genome evolution. (PL)
  • RITA: Rapid Identification of Taxonomic Assignments for metagenomic fragments (M).
  • 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)
  • GANN: a machine learning method designed with the complexities of transcriptional regulation in mind.
  • WOOF: a tool designed to rigourously apply the principle of visual alignment validation. (SA)
