DescriptionHi: I'm tired of my colleagues criticizing Mega. Have you published papers that show that the results from Mega (phylogeny estimation) are robust with results from other programs? Thanks, Bob Zink

Hi Bob,

I am writing in response to your question regarding the MEGA software. A comparison of MEGA phylogeny construction using Maximum Likelihood versus PhyML and RaXML is given in:

https://www.megasoftware.net/pdfs/TamuraKumar11.pdf [^]

This is the only formal comparison of MEGA's tree construction results with other programs that I have seen but there may be other comparisons in the literature.
