 Description: EMBOSS conversions of the programs in the phylip package
- The embassy-phylip programs are EMBOSS conversions of the programs in
- Joe Felsenstein's PHYLIP package, a package of programs for inferring
- phylogenies. These programs all have the prefix "f" to distinguish them
- from the original programs.
+ This package is the adaptation of the PHYLIP package in which its
+ programs can operate with the biological sequence formats and databases
+ of the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite (EMBOSS). The
+ software packages adapted for EMBOSS are called EMBASSY.
+ .
+ PHYLIP (the PHYLogeny Inference Package) is a package of programs for
+ inferring phylogenies (evolutionary trees). Methods that are available
+ in the package include parsimony, distance matrix, and likelihood
+ methods, including bootstrapping and consensus trees. Data types that
+ can be handled include molecular sequences, gene frequencies,
+ restriction sites and fragments, distance matrices, and discrete
+ characters.
+ .
+ The EMBASSY PHYLIP programs all have the prefix "f" to distinguish them
+ from the original programs and avoid namespace conflict.
