SpeciesTree is a useful tool to construct species trees using stringent single-copy nuclear genes across multiple species. It has been demonstrated to be useful in both plants and animals. SpeciesTree is totally free and open source to the public.
- Easy-to-use. The procedures and requirements is listed below. Compared to other available tools, SpeciesTree is rather easy and useful for both animal scientists and plant biologists.
- Robust. We have tested SpeciesTree using both data from animals and plants. SpeciesTree is useful for small number of species and for more than one hundred species.
- The process of tree construction is highly automated. Users just need to input the CDS and protein files from multiple species, and the output files were: a table of single-copy nulear genes, two tree files in newick format (one based on coalescent method, the other one based on supermatrix method), two PDF and two png files of species trees.
Following are a list of third-party programs that will be used in SpeciesTree pipeline. These dependencies are required to be installed and added in your PATH before running this script.
