DupTree is a new software program for inferring rooted species trees from collections of gene using the tree parsimony approach. The implements novel algorithm that significantly improves upon run time standard search heuristics parsimony, and enables first truly genome-scale phylogenetic analyses. In addition, allows users to examine alternate rootings weight reconciliation costs trees. an open source project written in C++.DupTree Mac OS X, Windows, Linux along with sample dataset on-line manual are available at http://genome.cs.iastate.edu/CBL/DupTree
