# spread-phy(1)

analyze and visualize phylogeographic reconstructions

## NAME

spread-phy - analyze and visualize phylogeographic reconstructions

## SYNOPSIS

**spread-phy**

## DESCRIPTION

SPREAD is a user-friendly application to analyze and visualize phylogeographic reconstructions resulting from Bayesian inference of spatio-temporal diffusion.

There is a tutorial for SPREAD online at http://www.kuleuven.be/aidslab/phylogeography/tutorial/spread\_tutorial.html

Originally this program is named **spread**.  However, there is just such a package inside Debian and thus a '**phy-**' for phylogeny was prepended.
