SplitsTree
SplitsTree is a popular free-ware program for inferring phylogenetic trees, phylogenetic networks, or, more generally, splits graphs, from various types of data such as a sequence alignment, a distance matrix or a set of trees.[1][2] SplitsTree implements published methods such as split decomposition[3], neighbor-net, consensus networks[4], super networks methods or methods for computing hybridization or simple recombination networks. It uses the NEXUS file format, the splits graph is defined using a special data block (SPLITS block).
