Abstract
Motivation. Phylogenetic trees constructed from molecular sequences co ntain information about the evolutionary or population dynamical proce sses that created them. Here we describe a computer package (End-Epi) that uses graphical methods to allow researchers to make inferences ab out these processes from their data. Statistical analyses can be perfo rmed to test the consistency of the data with various competing hypoth eses. Availability. End-Epi can be obtained by WWW from http://evolve. zoo.ox.ac.uk/ and by anonymous FTP from ftp://evolve.zoo.ox.ac.uk/pack ages/End-Epi10.hqx. This file contains the compiled application, the m anual and a test tree.
