Reconstruction of phylogenetic trees by maximum likelihood

TREE-PUZZLE (the new name for PUZZLE) is an interactive console program that
implements a fast tree search algorithm, quartet puzzling, that allows
analysis of large data sets and automatically assigns estimations of support
to each internal branch. TREE-PUZZLE also computes pairwise maximum
likelihood distances as well as branch lengths for user specified trees.
Branch lengths can also be calculated under the clock-assumption. In
addition, TREE-PUZZLE offers a novel method, likelihood mapping, to
investigate the support of a hypothesized internal branch without
computing an overall tree and to visualize the phylogenetic content of
a sequence alignment.
