Abstract
We have built a tool for fast construction of very large phylogenetic trees. The tool uses heuristics for speeding up the neighbour-joining algorithm-while still constructing the same tree as the original neighbour-joining algorithm-making it possible to construct trees for 8000 species in <10 min on a single desktop PC. In comparison, the same task takes more than 30 min using the QuickTree neighbour-joining implementation.Mesh:
