A classic. I still use it for simple things, MP and LS/NJ bootstrapping and distance matrix calculations. But it's more <2000, the last version was 2002 I think.

In 2006, we had already #MrBayes and #GARLI

And I already had gone #PhyloNetworks with SplitsTree in conjunction with PAUP* (for distance matrix), #RAxML (-III just out) and MrBayes.

A Nuclear Ribosomal DNA Phylogeny of Acer Inferred with Maximum Likelihood, Splits Graphs, and Motif Analysis of 606 Sequences

The multi-copy internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of nuclear ribosomal DNA is widely used to infer phylogenetic relationships among closely related taxa. Here we use maximum likelihood (ML) and splits graph analyses to extract phylogenetic information ...

Following @RobLanfear 's plea.
I've worked (early retired) on #phylogenetics at evolution's coalface (from marine protozoans to extratropical trees), at the junction of #paleontology and #neontology, the crossroads of #bioinformatics and #application

Love to quick-help with graph interpretations—e.g. https://phylonetworks.blogspot.com/2019/12/trees-informing-networks-explaining.html and https://phylonetworks.blogspot.com/2019/04/next-generation-neighbor-nets.html

(Very) early user of #RAxML and #SplitsTree; too late to learn #R (you should!)

Trees informing networks explaining trees

Working at the coalface of evolution, one phenomenon always intrigued me: How does the signal in the data build up a tree? Especially since...
