Bio++ Program Suite
This software suite contains several example programs that use various methods from the libraries. The suite currently contains five programs:


 * bppDist: Distance matrix computation and tree reconstruction using various methods and models.
 * bppPars: Parsimony score computation and tree optimization + bootstrap.
 * bppML: Maximum likelihood computation and tree optimization + bootstrap.
 * bppSeqGen: Sequence simulations under various models of evolution.
 * bppConsense: Tree consensus methods and bootstrap values computations.
 * bppSeqMan: Sequence manipulation, including file format conversion.
 * bppPhySamp: Phylogenetic Sampler: sample sequences according to a phylogenetic tree or a distance matrix.
 * bppReRoot: Reroot a set of tree from a file according to a list of taxa.
 * bppAncestor: Reconstruct ancestral states and rates using any supported model of substitution.
 * bppTreeDraw: Plot trees in various vector formats.

Executable, source code, documentation and example file are available on BppSuite's page on Gna! http://home.gna.org/bppsuite.

CoMap
CoMap is a program that performs substitution mapping procedures and various test for coevolving sites. See CoMap's website on Gna! for more information http://home.gna.org/comap.

ConTest
ConTest is a program that detects sites within a protein alignment that are under biochemical constraint, throught substitution mapping. See ConTest's website on Gna! for more information http://home.gna.org/contest.
