Function

Penny algorithm for DNA using dnapenny

Description

kdnapenny is penny algorithm for DNA utilizing "dnapenny" methods provided in PHYLIP web service.

Following block is a quotation from fdnapenny included in PHYLIPNEW package. Finds all most parsimonious phylogenies for nucleic acid sequences by branch-and-bound search. This may not be practical (depending on the data) for more than 10-11 species or so. PHYLIP web service is provided by National University of Singapore. Original web-service is located at the following URL:

http://bioportal.bic.nus.edu.sg/phylip/dnapenny.html

This tools is a subset of Keio Bioinformatics Web Service (KBWS) package, which contains interfaces to bioinformatics web services through a proxy server at Keio University. kdnapennyis thus an interface of "runDnapenny" method included in KBWS SOAP service. This method can be alternatively accessed directly from programming languages as SOAP web service. Please refer to the KBWS online documentations http://soap.g-language.org/kbws/ for more information.

Penny algorithm for DNA, version 3.57c
 branch-and-bound to find all most parsimonious trees



requires a total of             16.000

One most parsimonious tree found:




  +--------Delta     
  !  
--1     +--Beta      
  !  +--2  
  +--3  +--Gamma     
     !  
     +-----Epsilon   

  remember: this is an unrooted tree!
