RFDist calculates the Robinson-Foulds distance between evolutionary trees.
RFDist is written in C, and should compile of any Unix system. Unpack
the source code (tar xvfz editdist-X.Y.tar.gz), change
directory to the editdist-X.Y/ directory and run
./configure ; make. A editdist executable will
be built in the src/ subdirectory.
To use RFDist, specify the two evolutionary trees (in Newick format) that you wish to calculate the distance between, ex.:
# src/rfdist data/hominoid1.tree data/hominoid2.tree
Distance matrix:
----------------
- 2 : data/hominoid1.tree
2 - : data/hominoid2.tree
