Function

Restriction site maximum Likelihood method using restml

Description

krestml is restriction site maximum Likelihood method utilizing "restml" methods provided in PHYLIP web service.

Following block is a quotation from frestml included in PHYLIPNEW package. Estimation of phylogenies by maximum likelihood using restriction sites data (not restriction fragments but presence/absence of individual sites). It employs the Jukes-Cantor symmetrical model of nucleotide change, which does not allow for differences of rate between transitions and transversions. This program is very slow. 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/restml.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. krestml is thus an interface of "runRestml" 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.
