fastDNAml is a program for estimating maximum likelihood phylogenetic trees
from nucleotide sequences.
WWW: http://geta.life.uiuc.edu/~gary/programs/fastDNAml.html
fastDNAml is an attempt to solve the same problem as Joseph Felsenstein's
DNAML, but to do so faster and using less memory, so that larger trees and/or
more bootstrap replicates become tractable. Much of fastDNAml is merely a
recoding of the PHYLIP 3.3 DNAML program from PASCAL to C.
For Felsenstein's phylogenetic analysis softwares, including the latest
versions of DNAML, visit the PHYLIP Home Page:
