[Biojava-dev] phylo code

[Thasso Griebel]

hi,

i recently explored the phylogeny code base in biojava. I am  
currently working on a phylogeny framework similar to mesquite  
(http://www.bio.informatik.uni-jena.de/epos) and i would like to add  
some functionality using biojava (the sequence stuff and the nexus  
parser).

I saw the PhyloSOC07 page ( http://biojava.org/wiki/ 
BioJava:PhyloSOC07 ) and i might be able to help out with some of the  
methods, so is there a way to contribute ? Or is this closed to  
participants of the google summer of code ?

I have code for n-consensus and adams consensus methods and some  
possible extensions for UPGMA (provide other distance computations,  
i.e wpgma, sigle linkage and complete linkage) and NJ ( outgroup and  
rooting support ). As our research groups has a focus on supertree  
construction, we have java implementations for several graph based  
supertree methods (aho's build, mincut, modified mincut, ranked tree,  
ancestral build).


Regards,

Thasso
