SMS: Smart Model Selection in PhyML

Vincent Lefort Jean-Emmanuel Longueville Olivier Gascuel

SMS (Smart Model Selection) automatically selects the best-fitting evolutionary model for an alignment of DNA or protein sequences. It compares substitution models using the AIC or BIC statistical criteria to support phylogenetic tree reconstruction with PhyML.

AQUAPONY

AquaPony: interactive visualization of phylogeographic scenarios AquaPony is a web application designed to explore and interpret evolutionary scenarios on annotated phylogenetic trees (for example, ancestral geographic states). It was built to make uncertainty in ancestral reconstructions easier to understand and communicate. Why AquaPony? In phylogeography, several scenarios can be nearly as plausible as the best…
