Geneious Prime

Phylogenetic Tree Analysis Software

Align sequences, build, and analyze phylogenetic trees using your choice of algorithm.

Built-in likelihood, distance and Bayesian phylogenetic tree building methods

The interactive distance matrix viewer allows you to rapidly calculate meaningful statistics for phylogenetics analysis.

Phylogenetic tree building and analyzing without juggling files

Simply select any alignment in Geneious Prime and your choice of algorithm to generate your phylogenetic tree with simple one click methods.

Your choice of phylogenetic tree building algorithms

Neighbor Joining – Use the fast and simple neighbor-joining methodology to build yourself a guide tree for large numbers of taxa in seconds
UPGMA – Simple and fast hierarchical clustering method for phylogenetic reconstruction
MrBayes – For Bayesian estimation of phylogenies, Geneious incorporates the MrBayes plugin which can be run on the local machine.
PAUP* – Launch the PAUP* plugin from inside Geneious through our streamlined GUI interface to perform Maximum Parsimony, Maximum LIkelihood. You must own or purchase a copy of PAUP* to use this plugin
PhyML – Harness the fastest implementation of maximum likelihood with the PhyML plugin
RAxML- Randomized Axelerated Maximum Likelihood
FastTree – Approximately-maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees from alignments of nucleotide or protein sequences

Export and publish your phylogenetic artwork

Manipulate the display settings to customize branch labels, node labels, end labels, tree shape, tree scale or color the clades to get your tree looking exactly the way you’d need it to. Once your tree is built save it to a high quality vector format like svg, pdf or eps for publication or print it so you can stick it on the wall.
