Abstract
We have developed a new tool, called fastDNAml, for constructing phylogenetic trees from DNA sequences. The program can be run on a wide variety of computers ranging from Unix workstations to massively parallel systems, and is available from the Ribosomal Database Project (RDP) by anonymous FTP. Our program uses a maximum likelihood approach and is based on version 3.3 of Felsenstein's dnaml program. Several enhancements, including algorithmic changes, significantly improve performance and reduce memory usage, making it feasible to construct even very large trees. Trees containing 40–100 taxa have been easily generated, and phylogenetic estimates are possible even when hundreds of sequences exist. We are currently using the tool to construct a phylogenetic tree based on 473 small subunit rRNA sequences from prokaryotes.
