Based on the not-so-successful Pysimony (https://sourceforge.net/projects/pysimony/), the same determined student takes another go at the phylogenetic problem.

Javamony is invoked as follows:
java -jar Javamony.jar [input.fasta] [random / stepwise (starting tree)] [# of bootstraps] [outgroup taxon #1] [outgroup taxon #2] ...

Not meant as a competitive phylogenetic inference program, Javamony is an opportunity for me to acquire the Java language while learning to address and solve fundamental problems in phylogenetics. Therefore, for my own educational benefit, all code is original. Of course, there are probably a good deal of mistakes as well.

I distribute Javamony, as I did Pysimony, hoping that it will be of educational value to someone else or at least vaguely amusing.

Upcoming features will be:
- Support for Amino Acid sequences
- Support for additional file formats (e.g. Nexus)
- Multithreading
- Additional scoring methods (e.g. maximum likelihood)

Features

  • Uses maximum parsimony
  • Reads a FASTA input file (DNA only)
  • User-established outgroup
  • Random and stepwise-addition starting trees
  • Uses SPR (subtree pruning and regrafting) tree search
  • Performs bootstrapping
  • Outputs standard Newick format with bootstrap support and branchlengths
  • Draws final tree with bootstrap support

Paessler - Monitor Your Whole Network in Minutes

Auto-discovery finds your devices and deploys pre-configured sensors instantly. No project plan required, just visibility from day one.

Waiting weeks for a monitoring rollout isn't an option when infrastructure doesn't stop running. PRTG's auto-discovery scans your network and suggests from over 200 pre-configured sensor types, so you're watching servers, applications and devices within minutes, not after a multi-week deployment. Enterprise-strength monitoring, without the enterprise complexity. Start your free trial today.
