TY - JOUR TI - MEGA X: Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis across Computing Platforms AU - Sudhir Kumar AU - Glen Stecher AU - Michael Li AU - Christina Knyaz AU - Koichiro Tamura PY - 2018 JO - Molecular Biology and Evolution DO - 10.1093/molbev/msy096 UR - https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msy096 AB - The Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (Mega) software implements many analytical methods and tools for phylogenomics and phylomedicine. Here, we report a transformation of Mega to enable cross-platform use on Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. Mega X does not require virtualization or emulation software and provides a uniform user experience across platforms. Mega X has additionally been upgraded to use multiple computing cores for many molecular evolutionary analyses. Mega X is available in two interfaces (graphical and command line) and can be downloaded from www.megasoftware.net free of charge. ER -
