Java applications

CodonSplit
Ho SYW (2011) Version 1.0. University of Sydney, Australia.
CodonSplit takes an alignment of a protein-coding gene and produces three output files, one with each of the codon positions.

SiteSampler
Ho SYW (2010) Version 1.1. University of Sydney, Australia.
SiteSampler can sample the sites of a sequence alignment to produce replicate data sets.

Sequescence
Ho SYW (2007) Version 1.0. University of Oxford, UK.
Sequescence simulates the appearance of miscoding lesions as a result of post-mortem damage in ancient DNA.

RateEvolver
Ho SYW (2005) Version 1.1. University of Oxford, UK.
RateEvolver simulates the evolution of the substitution rate on a fixed nine-taxon tree. It allows the rate to vary among branches in either an autocorrelated or uncorrelated manner.

R scripts

DataPartitioning
Duchêne S (2012)
DataPartitioning takes a long alignment of concatenated genes or partitions (e.g., a mitogenome) and exports individual alignments for each partition.

RemoveRedundantTaxa
Duchêne S (2012)
RemoveRedundantTaxa is a substitute for a MacClade utility. It removes redundant sequences from an alignment to produce an alignment of unique taxa only. The resulting taxon names are appended with a "+".

TreeSpace
Duchêne S (2012)
TreeSpace takes a long alignment and will generate a 100 bootstrap NJ consensus tree for each user-specified partition. Then the distance between all the trees are calculated, effectively exploring the topologies generated by each partition.

ShuffleSites
Duchêne S (2011)
ShuffleSites takes an alignment, resamples the sites a number of times. It can resample without replacement (shuffle sites) or with replacement (bootstrap).
