Chimera: construction of chimeric sequences for phylogenetic analysis.
CONCLUSIONS
Chimera allows the construction of chimeric protein or nucleic acid sequence files by concatenating sequences from two or more sequence files in PHYLIP formats. It allows the user to interactively select genes and species from the input files. The concatenated result is stored to one single output file in PHYLIP or NEXUS formats.


BACKGROUND
The computer program, including supporting files and example files, is available from http://www.dalicon.com/chimera/.
