Monophyler

Monophyler computes the probability of monophyly of a specified set of gene lineages conditional on a species tree. Monophyler uses the coalescent together with an arbitrary species tree to determine the monophyly probability for a set of lineages or the reciprocal monophyly probability for a pair of sets of lineages. It can also accommodate various computations involving three or four lineage sets.

To use the UNIX versions, unzip and untar the files in an appropriate directory using

gunzip filename.tar.gz; tar xvf filename.tar

where "filename.tar.gz" is the downloaded file. Run the program in UNIX by typing

./monophyler_linux.sh inputfile.txt

or simply

./monophyler_linux.sh

to start the graphical user interface.
