\title{
Analyses of Phylogenetics and Evolution
}
\description{
\pkg{ape} provides functions for reading and manipulating phylogenetic
trees and DNA sequences, computing DNA distances, 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
\code{library(help = ape)}.
