Phylogenetic Tree Reconciler

(Réconciliateur d'Arbres Phylogénétiques)

by Jean-François Dufayard, Laurent Duret and François Rechenmann

An algorithm and a software have been developed, which permit to find gene duplications in phylogenetic trees, in order to improve gene function inferences. The algorithm is applicable to realistic data, especially n-ary species tree and unrooted phylogenetic tree. The algorithm also takes branch lengths into account.
