SplitsTree

SplitsTree is a popular freeware program for inferring phylogenetic trees, phylogenetic networks, or, more generally, splits graphs, from various types of data such as a sequence alignment, a distance matrix or a set of trees.

[1][2] SplitsTree implements published methods such as split decomposition,[3] neighbor-net, consensus networks,[4] super networks methods or methods for computing hybridization or simple recombination networks.

It uses the NEXUS file format.

The splits graph is defined using a special data block (SPLITS block).
