Abstract

Summary: URec is a software based on a concept of unrooted reconciliation. It can be used to reconcile a set of unrooted gene trees with a rooted species tree or a set of rooted species trees. Moreover, it computes detailed distribution of gene duplications and gene losses in a species tree. It can be used to infer optimal species phylogenies for a given set of gene trees. URec is implemented in C++ and can be easily compiled under Unix and Windows systems. Availability: Software is freely available for download from our website at http://bioputer.mimuw.edu.pl/~gorecki/urec. This webpage also contains Windows executables and a number of advanced examples with explanations. Contact: gorecki@mimuw.edu.pl
