Function

Dollo and polymorphism parsimony algorithm using dollop

Description

kdollop is dollo and polymorphism parsimony algorithm utilizing "dollop" methods provided in PHYLIP web service.

Following block is a quotation from fdollop included in PHYLIPNEW package. Estimates phylogenies by the Dollo or polymorphism parsimony criteria for discrete character data with two states (0 and 1). Also reconstructs ancestral states and allows weighting of characters. Dollo parsimony is particularly appropriate for restriction sites data; with ancestor states specified as unknown it may be appropriate for restriction fragments data. 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/dollop.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. kdollopis thus an interface of "runDollop" 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.
