Keywords: phylogenetic network, phylogeny, Program SplitsTree, reconstruction, split network.

Neighbor-Net provides a snapshot of the data that can guide more detailed analysis. Unlike split decomposition, Neighbor-Net scales well and can quickly produce detailed and informative networks for several hundred taxa. We illustrate the method by reanalyzing three published data sets: a collection of 110 highly recombinant Salmonella multi-locus sequence typing sequences, the 135 "African Eve" human mitochondrial sequences published by Vigilant et al., and a collection of 12 Archeal chaperonin sequences demonstrating strong evidence for gene conversion. Neighbor-Net is available as part of the SplitsTree4 software package." @Article{BryantMoulton2004,       AUTHOR = {Bryant, David and Moulton, Vincent},       TITLE = {NeighborNet: An Agglomerative Method for the Construction of Phylogenetic Networks},       YEAR = {2004},       JOURNAL = {MBE},       VOLUME = {21},       NUMBER = {2},       PAGES = {255-265},       URL = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msh018},       NOTE = {http://www.math.auckland.ac.nz/~bryant/Papers/04NeighborNet.pdf},       ANNOTE = {BIBUPDATE : 20070918},       KEYWORDS = {phylogenetic network, phylogeny, Program SplitsTree, reconstruction, split network} }
