SPECTRE

SPECTRE is a software package containing tools to model and visualize reticulate evolution utilizing phylogenetic trees. The SPECTRE package includes phylogenetic (1) data structures, such as Networks, Splits, Distances, Quartets, and Trees. (2) mathematical data structures, such as matrix algebra, tuples, and basic statistics. (3) Loading and saving phylogenetics file formats, such as Nexus and Phylip. (4) graphical and command-line user interfaces. (5) Utilities.
