Mtreemix - Mutagenetic trees mixture models

Current version

1.3.00 Mai 2007

What's new?

Primer

Mtreemix is a software package to estimate mixture models of mutagenetic trees from observed cross-sectional data. Mutagenetic tree mixtures are probabilistic models that have been designed to describe evolutionary processes that are characterized by the accumulation of genetic changes. Mtreemix has been applied to model the development of drug resistance-associated mutations in the HIV genome and the accumulation of chromosomal gains and losses in tumor development. (For more details, see the references below.)

The Mtreemix C code has been developed on the basis of LEDA and uses CLAPACK. You can download the Mtreemix source code and precompiled Solaris and Linux binaries under the licence terms stated below. The precompiled binaries can be used directly without any further requirements. (But for recompiling the source code the LEDA and CLAPACK packages are necessary.)

Software
