TNT, a free program for phylogenetic analysis

Pablo A. Goloboff, James S. Farris, Kevin C. Nixon · 11 Jul 2008

Abstract The main features of the phylogeny program TNT are discussed. Windows versions have a menu interface, while Macintosh and Linux versions are command‐driven. The program can analyze data sets with discrete (additive, non‐additive, step‐matrix) as well as continuous characters (evaluated with Farris optimization). Effective analysis of large data sets can be carried out in…

BRANCH SUPPORT AND TREE STABILITY

Ka ̊re Bremer · 1 Sep 1994

Abstract— Branch support is quantified as the extra length needed to lose a branch in the consensus of near‐most‐parsimonious trees. This approach is based solely on the original data, as opposed to the data perturbation used in the bootstrap procedure. If trees have been generated by Farris's successive approximations approach to character weighting, branch support…

SequenceMatrix: concatenation software for the fast assembly of multi-gene datasets with character set and codon information

Gaurav Vaidya, David J. Lohman, Rudolf Meier · 7 Jul 2010

We present SequenceMatrix, software that is designed to facilitate the assembly and analysis of multi-gene datasets. Genes are concatenated by dragging and dropping FASTA, NEXUS, or TNT files with aligned sequences into the program window. A multi-gene dataset is concatenated and displayed in a spreadsheet; each sequence is represented by a cell that provides information…

Cladistics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Cladistics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Cladistics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Cladistics use?
Cladistics uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Cladistics 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Cladistics?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Cladistics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Cladistics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Cladistics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
