itaxotools-mold-gui 1.4.3

Module and Gui for MolD

MoldGui

Identify diagnostic nucleotide combinations (DNCs) in DNA sequence alignments, which can be used to provide formal diagnoses of these taxa. This is in the form of "redundant DNC” (rDNC), which takes into account unsampled genetic diversity.

This is a Qt GUI for Mold v1.4.3.

Executables

Download and run the standalone executables without installing Python.

Installation

MolD is available on PyPI and can be installed using pip:

pip install itaxotools-mold-gui

After installation, run the program with:
