Motivation: The abundance of nucleotide sequence information available has expanded horizons of inquiry for molecular evolution; however, the full potential of whole-genome analysis has not been realized because of inadequate tools. Here, we present one of the first toolkits to aid multidisciplinary high-throughput analysis.
Summary: SPEED was created to integrate molecular evolutionary data with existing genetic resources and provide a straightforward user interface to 17 352 orthologous gene groups, containing representatives from eight mammalian species and an avian outgroup.
