PHYLLAB is a MatLab toolbox for sequence manipulation and phylogenetic analysis.
PHYLLAB takes as input a set of aligned nucleotide or amino-acid
sequences, and performs phylogeny inference. It uses a Markov chain Monte Carlo method, evaluating the
posterior distribution over tree topologies and a variety of model parameters, including parameters of
substitution-rate variation under a wavelet model. The graphical interface helps users to manage input
data and to visualize the most likely trees; they can also view substitution-rate plots that show the
maximum posterior density (confidence) intervals. PHYLLAB is written completely in the MatLab
language and has been tested on WinNT platform with MatLab Version 5.3.0. Although it does not
implement all the multiplicity of existing methods used in phylogenetics, interested users can extend it
easily. In this manner, the PHYLLAB toolbox is continually expanding; we expect to offer many more
functions and scripts for different purposes soon.
