The Bio++ Program Suite is a package of programs using the Bio++ libraries and dedicated to Phylogenetics and Molecular Evolution.
Bio++ Suite contains the following components:
bppPars (Optimize a phylogenetic tree according to maximum parsimony).
bppDist (Estimate a distance matrix and build a phylogenetic tree according to several model of evolution and reconstruction methods).
bppML (Optimize a phylogenetic tree and other model parameters according to maximum likelihood. Several models are supported).
bppSeqGen (Simulate data sets according to a phylogenetic tree and an evolutionary model).
bppAncestor (Reconstruct ancestral sequences).
bppConsense (Build consensus trees and compute bootstrap values).
bppSeqMan (Sequence manipulation and file format conversion).
bppPhySamp (Sample sequences from a file according to a phylogenetic tree).
bppReRoot (Reroot all trees in a file according to a user-specified list of outgroups).
All programs share a common option file format.
