DupTree is a program for phylogenetic analyses using gene tree parsimony. That is, given a collection of binary gene trees, DupTree searches for a species supertree that implies the fewest number of gene duplication events.
- Executables for: Linux , Mac (Power PC), Mac (Intel), Windows
- Manual

NOTE: DupTree is now also available as part of the software package iGTP, which is a graphical program for performing gene tree parsimony analysis under the duplication, duplication+loss, and deep coalescence reconciliation cost models. You can read more about iGTP here.
