HYPHY (/ˈhaɪfaɪː/ HYE-fye) is a free multiplatform (Mac, Windows and UNIX) Computational phylogenetics software package intended to perform maximum likelihood analyses of genetic sequence data and equipped with tools to test various statistical hypotheses.[1] The HYPHY name is an abbreviation for "HYpothesis testing using PHYlogenies".[2]
HYPHY is developed by Sergei Kosakovsky Pond, Simon Frost, and Art Poon of UC San Diego, and Spencer Muse of North Carolina State University.
History
[edit]The development of HyPhy started in 1997, with the first public release in 2000 and the most recent version as of Jan 2009 being 0.99+ beta, compiled on May 8, 2008.[2]
Software/code availability and license
[edit]HYPHY is distributed as freeware with source code released under the GPL. Compiled binaries for Mac OS (9 and X) and Windows are available for download. There is also a source based distribution (under the GPL license), which can be used to build HyPhy on *nix systems.
A subset of HYPHY methods are also made available by the HYPHY team at UC San Diego in the form of the DataMonkey server
