About MEGA

MEGA is an integrated tool for conducting sequence alignment, inferring phylogenetic trees, mining web-based databases, estimating rates of molecular evolution, inferring ancestral sequences, and testing evolutionary hypotheses. MEGA is used by biologists in a large number of laboratories for reconstructing the evolutionary histories of species and inferring the extent and nature of selective forces shaping the evolution of genes and species. - Download PDF

About MEGA Computational Core (MEGA-CC)

MEGA-CC provides a command line interface to the computational core in MEGA enabling researchers to automate and pipeline analyses via scripts, other applications, or the built-in file iterator system. - Download PDF
