Neighbor-Joining algorithm for phylogenies (development)
QuickTree is an efficient implementation of the Neighbor-Joining algorithm (PMID: 3447015), capable of reconstructing phylogenies from huge alignments in time less than the age of the universe.
QuickTree accepts both distance matrix and multiple-sequence-aligment inputs. The former should be in PHYLIP format. The latter should be in Stockholm format, which is the native alignment format for the Pfam database. Alignments in various formats can be converted to Stockholm format with the sreformat program, which is part of the HMMer package (hmmer.org).
The tress are written to stdout, in the Newick/New-Hampshire format use by PHYLIP and many other programs
This package contains some header files from quicktree that are used by other packages.
