چکیده
UNLABELLED Rainbow is a program that provides a graphic user interface to construct supertrees using different methods. It also provides tools to analyze the quality of the supertrees produced. Rainbow is available for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. AVAILABILITY Rainbow is a free open-source software. Its binary files, source code, and manual can be downloaded from the Rainbow web page: http://genome.cs.iastate.edu/Rainbow/

A likelihood look at the supermatrix-supertree controversy.
Supermatrix and supertree methods are two strategies advocated for phylogenetic analysis of sequence data from multiple gene loci, especially when some species are missing at some loci. The supermatrix method concatenates sequences from multiple genes into a data supermatrix for phylogenetic analysis, and ignores differences in evolutionary dynamics among the genes. The supertree method analyze...
متن کاملPerformance of Supertree Methods on Various Dataset Decompositions
Many large-scale phylogenetic reconstruction methods attempt to solve hard optimization problems (such as Maximum Parsimony (MP) and Maximum Likelihood (ML)), but they are limited severely by the number of taxa that they can handle in a reasonable time frame. A standard heuristic approach to this problem is the divide-and-conquer strategy: decompose the dataset into smaller subsets, solve the s...
متن کاملTrees from trees: construction of phylogenetic supertrees using clann.
Supertree methods combine multiple phylogenetic trees to produce the overall best "supertree." They can be used to combine phylogenetic information from datasets only partially overlapping and from disparate sources (like molecular and morphological data), or to break down problems thought to be computationally intractable. Some of the longest standing phylogenetic conundrums are now being brou...
متن کاملTrees versus characters and the supertree/supermatrix "paradox".
In a pair of recent articles, Gatesy and colleagues (Gatesy et al., 2002, 2004; also Gatesy and Springer, 2004) have strongly criticized several recent supertree studies. In so doing, they have pointed out important, but correctable, shortcomings in how the supertree approach was applied in specific instances, and have helped to fine-tune the methodology of this comparatively young field. Howev...
متن کاملPerformance of flip supertree construction with a heuristic algorithm.
Supertree methods are used to assemble separate phylogenetic trees with shared taxa into larger trees (supertrees) in an effort to construct more comprehensive phylogenetic hypotheses. In spite of much recent interest in supertrees, there are still few methods for supertree construction. The flip supertree problem is an error correction approach that seeks to find a minimum number of changes (f...
