The following program constructs a phylogenetic tree of DNA sequences using the Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic mean (UPGMA) algorithm:

• Class Upgma

The following program constructs maximum parsimony phylogenetic trees of DNA sequences using exhaustive search:

• Class PhylogenyParsExhSeq

The following programs construct maximum parsimony phylogenetic trees of DNA sequences using branch-and-bound search:

• Class PhylogenyParsBnbSeq
• Class PhylogenyParsBnbSmp

The following program draws a picture of a phylogenetic tree:

• Class DrawTree

The other classes are used by the above programs.
