  implements neutral models for evolution of gene expression to analyze or simulate microarray data.
  EMOGEE and related tools are available at the EMOGEE homepage.

• GeoMeTree (Geodesic Metric on Trees)
  GeoMeTree is a python program to compute the geodesic path between two phylogenetic trees.
  The package is available at the GeoMeTree homepage.

• HaMSTR
  HaMSTR is a Hidden Markov Model based search tool to screen EST sequence data for the presence of putative orthologs to a pre-defined set of genes. HaMSTR is accessible at www.deep-phylogeny.org/hamstr.

• HGT
  A software to simulate and estimate Horizontal Gene Transfer events.
  The package is available at the HGT homepage.

• ImOSM (Imbed One Step Mutations into an alignment)
  A program to Imbed model violation as One Step Mutations into a sequence alignment. This is a useful tool to study the robustness in phylogeny inference. ImOSM homepage.

• IQPNNI (Important Quartet Puzzling with NNI Optimization)
  A quartet based method to reconstruct phylogenetic trees from really large datasets (DNA and protein). The method applies a QP-like approach requiring only a part of the quartets and some fast NNI optimization.
  The package is available at the IQPNNI homepage.

• MASon (Million Alignments in Seconds)
  is a C++ library that uses high performance architectures to reduce the computing time of NGS analysis pipelines.
  The program is available at the MASon homepage.

• misfits
  is a computer program to evaluate the goodness of fit between a phylogenetic model and an alignment.
  The program is available at the misfits homepage.

• MRC.py
  is a computer program to evaluate the compatibility lengths given supertrees and gene trees and to extract the supertrees with the minimal lengths.
  The program is available at the MRC homepage.

• NextGenMap (Next Generation Mapper)
  is a computer program to map NGS reads against a reference genome using CPUs or GPUs.
  The program is available at the NextGenMap homepage.

• NGV (Next Generation Viewer)
  A Preprocessor and Browser for efficient display of large HTS Data Sets.
  The package is available at the NGV homepage.

• Parat
  estimates site specific substitution rates from a set of DNA sequences.
  The package is available at the Parat homepage.

• PDA (Phylogenetic Diversity Algorithm)
  implements efficient algorithms to solve the Phylogenetic Diversity (PD) problem.
  The package is available at the PDA homepage.

• PhyNav (Phylogenetic Navigator)
  A tree sampling method to reconstruct phylogenetic trees from really large datasets (DNA and protein). The method combines different methods to sample good trees.
  PhyNav homepage.

• (p)IPHULA [(parallel) Inference of Population History Using a Likelihood Approach]
  (p)IPHULA is a software that investigates parameters of population history based on a Monte Carlo simulation using the maximum likelihood framework.
  IPHULA/pIPHULA homepage.

• REvolver: Modeling sequence evolution under domain constraints
  REvolver is a program to simulate protein sequence evolution. REvolver automatically integrates domain information described by a profile Hidden Markov Model (pHMM) into the simulation.
  The package is available at the STC homepage.

• Shortest Triplet Clustering (STC)
  A new distance-based clustering method to reconstruct very large phylogenies in polynomial time O(n^2) for n sequences.
  The package is available at the STC homepage.

• SIMULATOR
  Software to simulate DNA and protein datasets with well-defined insertion-deletion dynamics according to a user-given tree.
  The software is available at the SIMULATOR homepage.

• SISSI (Simulating Sequence Evolution with Site-Specific Interactions)
  SISSI is a software tool to generate data of related sequences along a given phylogeny, taking into account user defined system of neighbourhoods and instantaneous rate matrices.
  The software is available at the SISSI homepage.

• TAXNAMECONVERT
  is a program to rename sequence and taxon names in tree and sequence files.
  The software is available at the Taxnameconvert homepage.

• TREE-PUZZLE
  is a program package to reconstruct phylogenetic trees from protein, DNA, and binary data by maximum likelihood.
  The package is available at www.tree-puzzle.de.

• TreeSnatcher
  is a GUI-driven Java application that recognizes bifurcating and multifurcating trees in pixel images (like JPG) and outputs the tree in Newick format.
  The software is available at the TreeSnatcher homepage.

• TripleC
  a program to constuct consensus trees from rooted triples.
  The software is available at the TripleC homepage.
