## Analyses of Phylogenetics and Evolution

### Description

ape provides functions for reading, writing, manipulating, analysing, and simulating phylogenetic trees and DNA sequences, computing DNA distances, translating into AA sequences, estimating trees with distance-based methods, and a range of methods for comparative analyses and analysis of diversification. Functionalities are also provided for programming new phylogenetic methods.

The complete list of functions can be displayed with `library(help = ape)`.
