Abstract

Summary: We have developed a tool implementing an efficient algorithm for refined Buneman tree reconstruction. The algorithm--which has the same complexity as the neighbour-joining method and the (plain) Buneman tree construction--enables refined Buneman tree reconstruction on large taxa sets.
