                               Program ednapars
                                       
Function

   Conversion of PHYLIP's dnapars
   
Description

   EDNAPARS -- Embossified DNA Parsimony Program
   
   Phylip dnapars documentation.
   
Usage

   Here is a sample session with ednapars using test data:-
   5   13
Alpha     AACGUGGCCAAAU
Beta      AAGGUCGCCAAAC
Gamma     CAUUUCGUCACAA
Delta     GGUAUUUCGGCCU
Epsilon   GGGAUCUCGGCCC

% ednapars test

DNA parsimony algorithm
Output file [ednapars.outfile]: stdout
Randomize input order of species [N]:
Create a tree file [Y]:
Output treefile name [ednapars.treefile]:

One most parsimonious tree found:



           +--Epsilon
        +--4
     +--3  +--Delta
     !  !
  +--2  +-----Gamma
  !  !
--1  +--------Beta
  !
  +-----------Alpha

  remember: this is an unrooted tree!


requires a total of     19.000




% more more ednapars.treefile
((((Epsilon,Delta),Gamma),Beta),Alpha);
