  Abstract

Summary: Phylogenetic analyses today involve dealing with computer files in different formats and often several computer programs. Although some widely-used applications have integrated important functionalities for such analyses, they still work with local resources only: input/output files (users have to manage them) and local com-puting (users have sometimes to leave their programs, on their desktop computers, running for extended periods of time). To ad-dress these problems we have developed Bosque, a multi-platform client-server software that performs standard phylogenetic tasks either locally or remotely on servers, and integrates the results on a local relational database. Bosque performs sequence alignments and graphical visualization and editing of trees, thus providing a powerful environment that integrates all the steps of phylogenetic analyses.
