PAUP*
Phylogenetic inference using PAUP* 4.0
PAUP* Plugin
Run PAUP* from inside Geneious to build trees using parsimony, distance matrix and likelihood methods. Modeltest is also included. You will need a licensed copy of PAUP* to use this plugin.
Quick Start
Install the plugin by downloading the gplugin file and dragging it in to Geneious or use the plugin manager in Geneious (under Tools - Plugins in the menu).
Once installed, run the plugin by selecting a multiple sequence alignment and clicking on Tree in the toolbar. PAUP* is available as an option at the top of the Tree building options window.
Before building a tree you will need to set the PAUP* executable location to point to your copy of the command line version of PAUP* 4.0.
