Phylemon 2.0: a suite of web tools for molecular evolution, phylogenetics and phylogenomics Tarraga J, Medina I, Huerta Cepas J, Arbiza L, Serra F, Gabaldón T, Dopazo J and H. Dopazo Bioinformatics Department Centro de Investigación Príncipe Felipe Valencia. Spain. Topics Phylemon (http://phylemon.bioinfo.cipf.es/) is an online platform for phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses of molecular sequence data.It has been developed as a web server that integrates a suite of different tools selected among the most popular stand­alone programs in phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis. It has been conceived as a natural response to the increasing demand of data analysis of many experimental scientists wishing to add a molecular evolution and phylogenetics insight into their research. Methods Tools included in Phylemon cover a wide yet selected range of programs: from the most basic for multiple sequence alignment to elaborate statistical methods of phylogenetic reconstruction including methods for evolutionary rates analyses and molecular adaptation. A brief overview of the new tools and databases added from phylogenomics projects (PhylomeDB) will be provided also. Training Phylemon will be running at the computational room of CIPF with a capacity for 25 students.
