Fastphylo is software project containing the implementations of the algorithms "Fast Computation of Distance Estimators", "Fast Neighbor Joining", and more. See the paper "FastPhylo: Fast tools for phylogenetics" for more information.
The software is licensed under the MIT license.
There is presently one easy option for installing FastPhylo and that is using BioConda. So,
- Set up Bio Conda for your system, including adding the bioconda channel.
- Run the install command:
conda install fastphylo
The alternative is to build the software locally from source.
Source code is available through cloning of this repository -- see GitHub links and resources. See the file "INSTALL" for compilation and installation instructions!
