CoRe-PA

CoRe-PA was developed to be a tool for reconstructing the coevolutionary History of host Parasite systems. CoRe-PA is an Eclipse RCP application. You don`t need to install the software. Just UnZip the archive to a local folder and run the core-pa executable.

Key features

· design host parasite scenarios with a graphical editor
· generate random coevolutionary scenarios using the beta-split model with beta 0, -1 or -1.5
· generate random coevolutionary scenarios by simulating coevolution
· generate random coevolutionary scenarios which "keep the character" of given host parasite systems
· handle non-binary host and parasite phylogenies
· choose Between different behaviors of how to handle switches
· use divergence timing information
· compute the best reconstructions for a given set of costs
· compute the best cost vector for a given host parasite system (where the cost vector fits best to the reconstructed event frequencies)
· do randomization tests for given host parasite systems to analyze the probability of coevolution
· export host parasite scenarios and their reconstructions to svg
