Helaers R, Milinkovitch MC. BMC Bioinformatics 2010 ;11():379. 1471-2105-11-379. 10.1186/1471-2105-11-379. PMC2912891.

The development, in the last decade, of stochastic heuristics implemented in robust application softwares has made large phylogeny inference a key step in most comparative studies involving molecular sequences. Still, the choice of a phylogeny inference software is often dictated by a combination of parameters not related to the raw performance of the implemented algorithm(s) but rather by practical issues such as ergonomics and/or the availability of specific functionalities.
