title: MacT: Apple Macintosh programs for constructing phylogenetic trees.
abstract: MacT is a set of programs for the Apple Macintosh to construct and evaluate unrooted trees derived from amino acid sequences using a distance matrix method. Programs are designed on a 'one program--one task' basis for (i) determining the branching order in trees consisting of four or five species and calculating various statistical measures, (ii) calculating statistical measures for all possible topologies of unrooted trees and (iii) generating and evaluating trees derived from bootstrapped samples. With four auxiliary programs unrooted trees can be built for maximal 26 species, and the robustness of topologies be tested by bootstrapping.
