About Clann
Software for investigating phylogenomic information using supertrees. The word "Clann" is the Irish word for "family".

The latest version implements four supertree methods (which are used as optimality criteria):
- Matrix Representation using Parsimony (But Paup* is necessary for the parsimony part)
- Maximum Quartet fit
- Maximum Split (component) fit
- Most Similar Supertree Method (A novel method related to the average consensus method with branch lengths set to unity)

For each of these optimality criteria, Clann allows:
- Searches of supertree-space using Exhaustive or Heuristic searches (NNI & SPR)
- Searches of User-defined trees.
- Investigation into the support for various hypotheses through:
- Bootstrapping (at the source tree level) YAPTP tests (a randomisation test similar to the ptp test)
