Abstract
Summary: We have built a tool for fast construction of very large phylogenetic trees. The tool uses heuristics for speeding up the neighbour-joining algorithm—while still constructing the same tree as the original neighbour-joining algorithm—making it possible to construct trees for 8000 species in Availability: The source code for QuickJoin is available from http://www.birc.dk/Software/QuickJoin under the GNU Public License (GPL).Keywords
