Archaeopteryx (software)
open-in-new
<p>Archaeopteryx is an interactive <a href="/facts/Computer_software/RP79lVSW">computer software</a> program, written in <a href="/facts/Java_/9ScgFyAL">Java</a>, for <a href="/facts/Information_graphics/yGbFkPUp">viewing</a>, editing, and analyzing <a href="/facts/Phylogenetic_tree/f5vVEpeY">phylogenetic trees</a>. This type of program can be used for a variety of <a href="/facts/Cladistics/JasKVABk">analyses</a> of <a href="/facts/Molecule/N9ljSfFq">molecular data sets</a>, but is particularly designed for <a href="/facts/Phylogenomics/MsclFvpS">phylogenomics</a>. Besides tree description formats with limited expressiveness (such as Newick/New Hamphshire, Nexus), it also implements the <a href="/facts/PhyloXML/LdJfuFr9">phyloXML</a> format. Archaeopteryx is the successor to Java program <i>A Tree Viewer</i> (ATV). </p>
